The last time I had this much fun "exercising" was learning taekwondo. I was on the bike at least twice a day everyday before work started up again, but am thinking of getting one of those handlebar iphone holders (and perhaps a more rugged case) for fielding calls while I'm out of the office, which has totally new meaning to me now. This is way better than dragging my carcass around a walking path twice a day - its like running, without the jarring soul-sucking part.

When I was younger I used to do a lot of still-water kayaking. The thing that never ceased to amaze me was moving great distances under my own power. Riding is a lot like that, and nearly as quiet when the wind is right.

I've been reading with some envy the adventurers of [livejournal.com profile] kylecassidy where he's gone from sedentarily plump to marathon runner - which was awesome except for the part where he hated running. I'm having so much fun I hope I turn into one of those pompous cyclists - you know the ones. The bedroom community of Newton, Kansas is so small in fact, that every time I had to go into town this past weekend, I took my bike instead. I keep trying to find routes I can use as a training treks - somewhere to go and back consistently when there's nowhere in particular to go.

Happy Trails!
