Dude...9 months in the making?
What happened?
I tried to do a “look back” on this thread...I probably missed something...due to low technology or something.
Life man. Lol.
Life happened. I've really been out of cycling for a little over two years now.
When my daughter was born (2 years ago) I found that my energy level had been, well, lacking hah.
That, and a lot of free time I did have was now being allotted to the little one and supporting my wife (my former riding buddy).
Even when I had some down time, it was hard for me to get out. Where I lived at the time was not conducive to just getting out and riding.
I lived in the middle of a pretty busy area with no good roads to ride so anytime I wanted to get out it was a production.
I would load up my gear in the car and drive about 15-20 min away.
Last July, we moved. We moved right on the street where one of my favorite routes was/is.
I was so happy, I could finally just get on my bike and go.
But wait. With a new house comes new house projects! So what little free time I had was now being occupied by other things!
And what didn't help was the purchase of the hybrids. But I wasn't mad about that because at least I was getting out on a bike.
But the last few months I have just really been itching to get out on the rodie, so I made it a priority.
And it felt great! I'm definitely out of shape, but it was nice to get back out. And I hope I can find the motivation to get out and do it more.
But in 7 months time, I will be starting all over again once the new little one comes lol. So we'll see....
