Bought myself a pair of padded biking shorts today! I had promised myself I'd buy them when I was halfway to my weight loss goal (20 lbs by summer). I haven't actually tried them out yet but hope to this weekend. Didn't buy the super expensive ones but I think these are pretty comfortable. Also ordered a tank that is supposed to arrive next week sometime. It's going to look SO much better than the old capri pants (not the riding type) and t-shirt I usually wear. :rolleyes: Now I need some real cycling shoes, gloves, and clipless pedals, oh, and a road bike too :p
The other "first" was that I actually passed dh going UPHILL the other day. I was feeling so strong for a change and I thought he was just being nice and riding slow for me, but no! he said it was a legitimate pass! He was way ahead of me most of the ride of course, but it was a HUGE first for me, the hill slug...
Finally, the brag - I reached my goal of riding 800km before the end of June today! (Interestingly it coincided with losing that first 10 lbs - think there's a connection? ;) Guess I have to shoot higher - going for 1500 km by the end of summer now.
I just love this biking thing...
