I did it! I finally purchased a new bike. It took several days to ride different ones, and also to find a bike shop that I trust completely.
My first ride was Friday, July 20th. We went down the scenic roads of the Lexington countryside. Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it! We went 28 miles. Yes, you are right, that was too much for me as a beginner. I had a fairly severe pain between my shoulder blades, and my legs cramped for two days after the ride! However, I do love my bike. It's going to take a while to get used to "clipless" pedals, but it sure does make a difference on distance and speed while biking. Mountain bikes are great, but not for long distances on pavement!
July 22 - 28th I went to Minneapolis for a work-related training session. It didn't exactly come at a great time as far as training goes, but what can you do??? I did make it to the pool once, and used the treadmill three times. I'm a little bit behind schedule!
