40 and 40

Well the late morning was like any other day. Darth II went to bed and I went for a nice indoor ride. Last week MWF was a hour ride with T TH a 40 minute ride. This week I rode 40 Minutes on M & F and 1 hour on T & TH... I have a habit of throwing in a DVD and watching while I ride. Makes the ride go by really quickly as well as give me a little entertainment. After Darth II napped the weather was really warm and the sun was shinning through some dark clouds. We went for a 40 minute walk around the neighborhood enjoying the wonderful, wonderful 55 degrees!!! We had to stay to the streets since during the winter most of my neighbors do not shovel the sidewalks in front of their houses. (Required to, but not enforced) Both Darth II and I had a wonderful time just walking outside!!!

Granted I ruined all my exercise with Pizza and a Big Gulp, but wow was that good!!!

Starting to look over my gear and making sure I get the new items I want in the next few weeks. I put the backrack and trunk on my bike so that is ready to go.

Items on my list

• New Helmet that is a little bigger and has a visor.
• New Gloves -Something I want to add, have a second pair
• Elbow Pads - Looked at a few places and will have to run out and look. I found some highly rated ones for BMX racing.
• Velcro or Strap shoes - I agreed not to ride outside clipped in for at least this season. I have the dual peddals so I can ride either way. I want to get a new pair of laceless shoes.
• Tools - Going to add to my Bike Workshop this spring and summer. Maybe if I sell some books and games on ebay I can generate enough to get all the tools I want...For Now..

Helmet and Elbows pads are a MUST... The rest can wait.

Ride On!!!
