On Saturday 2/9, Paul & I went on our very first long bike ride together. We rode for approximately 35 miles round trip from Zuma Beach (Malibu, California). We met up with the Los Angeles Tri Club around 8:15am, got our bike & gear ready, and took off on our ride around 8:35am with the group. Such a great feeling to get out and be outside that day as the weather must have reached 86 degrees (we saw the thermometer on our car's dashboard) on that February afternoon. Good learning experience for me as well since I actually got a flat tire with 3 miles to the finish line. Until that day, I was depending on Paul to take care of the mechanics & maintenance of my bike, but I guess you can't rely on your husband if you ever end up biking alone. Paul and I were literally drained the entire weekend. We had a great time, but there's definitely some training that I will need to do in order to be in tip top biking shape. So I'm dedicating myself to a Monday/Wednesday spinning class and staying after the class to work on my endurance. Paul & I are planning to rejoin the group once again this coming Saturday. I'll keep you posted on how that ends up... :)
