so i kinda sorta introduced myself to all you monkeys a little while ago. i suppose i felt the need, nah, no need really. i just feel like writing out what's rollin around in my head 
so anyways... it's been a couple weeks since i started riding again after ~10 years or so out. my first couple rides... well they were kinda painful lol. but even tho i was hurting, i absolutely loved being on a bike again. i've been a bit of a fat guy my whole life
and well, i decided it's time to not be the fat guy all the time. and biking is part of the way i'm going to make that happen. at least i'm going to give it a go. 20 years of smoking and 15 years behind a desk with physical activities becomming less and less over the years to the point of them being non-existant have made me what i am today lol
it's only been a couple of weeks so far, but i'm already seeing improvements. today was one of those days that just seemed like everything was right in the world. i rode more miles than i have in any of my previous rides and felt a LOT better the whole time. i didn't need to take nearly as many breaks as i have in my previous rides either. i managed to climb up some hills that i haven't made it up before. i JUMPED over some log piles instead of just kinda rolling over them !
i know it doesn't seem like much to all you seasoned monkeys, but for me, today was just a really fantastic day on my bike. they're little tiny steps, but it's the excitement of those little tiny steps that makes me look SO forward to riding again. makes me look SO forward to trying new things, improving my technique and improving my fitness.
just wanted to share. even if no ends up reading it
man did i have fun today !
