6 miler: personal best!

Beach @23rd St & Boardwalk
Yesterday, Lauren and I went for a bike ride on the boardwalk. I rode the blue bike from Vienna. Chris and Lauren adjusted the seat so it was more comfortable but the handlebars are too low. However, when we returned to Atlantic Avenue, we figured out that the ride to 28th Street was about 6 miles. Now, I admit there was a certain amount of whining and stopping to rest; my fanny and my elbows hurt. If I raise the handlebars I won't have to lean over and put so much weight on my elbows. The handlebars are low so my arms are fully extended when I ride.

Today, we did the same ride but I borrowed Bec's coaster bike. What a difference; no stopping or whining and did the entire Boardwalk with pleasure.

  1. BIKES! After Mackinac, I think I might actually buy one although Richmond is a far cry from riding along the coast of a great lake.
