It really does come back

I did something today I haven't done in a long time .... I rode my bike. To the market *uphill* about a 1/4 mile from here. I didn't get off and walk it, but I had to stop 3 times. And boy howdy do I feel it in my thighs. I think my bicycle seat needs readjustment because I couldn't extend my legs all the way, which if I recall, you're supposed to be able to do. Had to also plan my grocery shopping so that it fit in a backpack (it did).

But I did it and riding a bike came back to me, almost instantly, yay for muscle (and balance) memory.

The best part ... it was fun. Next week, longer ride.

amen, Sister

I have been thinking for a while to get my bike fixed and clean up and do the same. thanks for the post - it's inspiring me, doll! Big hugs ~ hope to talk soon.
