Two weeks ago, I bought a new bicycle, a Trek 3900 cross-country
mountain bike. I absolutely love it. I haven't cycled for years,
but this bike is so much fun. I've already gotten in several ten
mile rides and I'm hardly sore anymore so I guess I'm getting used to it.
As my PaD winds down (8 days left) it's rather neat to have a new
passion -- cycling. I'm sure I'll keep doing photography, but now
I have something else to preoccupy me (and get me fit as a fiddle!).
Just as I did with photography, I've joined a cycling website and
have begun spending FAR too much time reading posts and learning all
about my new obsession.
Today, I reached the first 100 miles on the new bike. And I have all
these neat accessories -- a helmet, of course, and a bell, and even
a bike computer which has an odometer and five other functions.
