So I’ve had my bike for over a week now and I absolutely love it.. I’ve even convinced my best friend Sam to get one… his gets here tomorrow and so now I’ll actually have a riding partner. Obviously it’s going to take some time to get him in enough shape to ride 15-20 miles with me all the time, but riding with someone is so much more fun than riding alone. His bike is going to be somewhat similar to mine, though he’s getting his off ebay for about $700 less than retail. Talk about a kickass deal. Knoxville has a few greenways (bike paths) on which we can ride and not have to worry about cars and traffic in general. I’m almost to the point now where I can comfortably ride 15 miles or so and not be dead tired… Obviously the terrain has a lot to do… 5 miles up and down steep hills still kills me… 10-15 miles of flat and I’m fine. As of now, I’d much rather be out riding than sitting in front of the computer vegetating… Anyway, my shift is over here at work… so it’s time to ride home and then ride over to Sam’s so we can get his bike together and head out to the bike shop tomorrow. Should be fun ![]()
