Biking

My first serious ride

As many of you know, I am getting married in July. When we set the date, I set a goal for myself to drop my weight to 250 pounds before the wedding. This goal was helped along by my fiancee’s father giving me a really nice mountain bike.

So I did my first serious bike ride today. I’ve been riding almost every day since the weather turned nice enough to get outside without having the cold weather gear on, but it’s mainly been confined to riding around the block and such. But today I decided to push myself. When I started biking, my goal was to be able to ride from home to St. Vital Centre (our local mall) by the end of the first month. Well, as of today, I can pretty much cross that off my to-do list. If you look at my route, you will see the mall at the corner of Dakota St. and Bishop Grandin Blvd. so that goal was accomplished.

So tonight, as a present to myself for accomplishing my goal, I’m going to treat myself to a bike computer. I’m fairly certian that this is the one I’m going to get.
