Back in the saddle again

Well, I did it! Got back on my bike after almost 2 years. A couple years ago I got this urge to try some once in a lifetime thing, which was to ride in the CANDISC (cycling around North Dakota in Sacajawea country). The ride ended up in Medora and I thought it would be a most beautiful ride. Well, beautiful maybe but it was the hills I didn't consider. So needless to say it was a very grueling and painful experience for me. I made it to Medora but did not go the return route. I got on my bike a couple times that fall but last summer could not force myself to get back on. But this morning I pumped up the tires and dusted her off and took to the bike path. I only went about 6.5 miles but my hands are still a bit shakey as I am writing this and my legs are quivery. As you can tell, I am very out of shape but I will continue to ride from time to time and try and regain the joy I used to feel when I was biking. ( I did a biking journal during my training in the summer of 2008)
