Bike Ride
On Monday, I will be participating in a 25 mile bike ride. It is sponsored by the local interfaith group, and is a fundraiser for the group as well as for local congregations.
I figured I could do the ride since I've been riding my bike. Or at least I was. Church isn't that far away, so the ride there and back is not much of a workout.
So last week, I rode my bike up Signal Hill. (Yes, there really is a hill in the city of Signal Hill.) I discovered what the lowest gear on my bike was for. And I had to stop and catch my breath twice, even though it's really not that big of a hill, at least not by California standards.
A few days later, I rode up the hill again. This time, I only stopped for breath once. Then yesterday, I went for an 8-mile ride that had no hills, but did cover part of the route I'll be taking on Monday.
Oh, and by the way, I'm still looking for sponsors.
