happy for you and your new bike! But i understand what you saying bout the gym and biking in one day maybe yu could alternate  

Yup I think that's plan at least for awhile. It's been over an hour since my 5 min on my bike and my leg muscles are still shaky. LOL. Sitting on the couch planning next week and playing online not getting much else done. Good day though.  

I am thrilled that you got our new bike. Kind of jealous too since I have no where to ride (busy road - no side walks) I think you've picked a great activity. Money well spent. Enjoy!!! 

Awww. There has to be somewhere to ride. I'm in the city but have a park trail (walking and bike) trail behind my house. I have recently found out that it is an easy connect to others in the area. I used to live in the country, nowhere to ride a bike, horses or 4 wheelers instead, would have had to drive somewhere first. Hoping to get fit enough to do the 9 mile group rides this summer. Will definitely have to make it more than 5 minutes!! Now I'm blaming draglist for buying this bike Lol.  

I had been debating as I need to use my tax return and my bonus to fix a problem on my house. Those surprise checks of $448.00 from 2 class action suits let me invest in my fitness future. I could buy a good one instead of a WalMart special.  

That's great with the bike! :) You'll quickly get used to the gears! I totally agree, it's better to ride the bike on no-gym days!  

My leg muscles are still vibrating!! Next try may be awhile as we have the cold moving back in overnight. Good thing is i now have it to use!!  

Good luck with the bike, my new friend! I spin indoors quite a bit & got into outdoor biking again over the last few years (like you after not being on one since college… many, many, many years ago)! My DH is an avid biker & has been for years. We've gone on 2 amazing bike trips to Italy -- one last Sept & the other 2 1/2 years ago. I do love riding outdoors when the weather is nice, but for now spinning has to suffice. But, you're right, biking after 2 hours at the gym, certainly sounds like a lot! xoxox 

PS - I have every confidence that someone as handy as you will soon master those 22 gears!  

Thank for your support. Will have to get on the bikes at the gym more often, or go to the community center on some of my cardio day they have a spinning type one the ones at the gym are different. Just had to try it since it was a warmer day, i wasn't expecting to bring it home yesterday. The cold is back this am. Bike trips to Italy sound amazing! I don't think I'd make it a mile to the store and then back at the moment!! :-) 

Always give some time for muscle recovery :)
