Awesome ride tonight. It almost, almost, makes me not miss running! Did I just say that? I'm still a little nervous on the roads, especially the busier ones, but I sucked it up and did it (admittedly, I had a bit of a death grip going on). I looked for the hills - headed to a subdivision about 4 miles away (with street names like Wooded Hills, Cherry Hill and Chestnut Hill, it's a pretty good indication of what was to come). I really thought I'd have to walk a few; I was barely moving and thought I might fall over, but I hung in there and just made each goal the next driveway. I did a couple of the hills twice - because I could. My legs and lungs were burning! When I wasn't worried about getting killed by errant drivers, I really enjoyed this mind clearing ride. Just what I needed!

    Nice ride! Cyclists have to watch out for cars and runners have to watch out for cyclists.

    Great ride. Road traffic is scary. Biking is very easy to love.

    Be careful out there. I see more and more texting and driving everytime I go for a ride.
