First Trike Ride!

I go take my first ride on my trike today! It felt good to be back outside and active. I just rode from the house and got in 10.8 miles.


The ride felt good overall. It took about 5 miles for my legs to get used to the motion again (for the first time!). Then I started to get tired about mile 7. But at least I kept going for a little farther.

You can see a page about my ride information here. Be warned that the speeds are pretty low, but it was the first time I have ridden a bike or trike in about 16 months. I am just happy that I was able to ride and keep going.

After the ride, I felt pretty good. My legs weren't overly tired, but I was winded and tired. I think that should be expected considering my lack of exercise for quite a while. I am sure with time I will gain both speed and endurance.
