i haven't ridden in the part itself yet.. but hubby has and likes it. he climbed to key's view (highest point in the park) and loved it!

i'm not super crazy about riding around here yet.. really.. i've pretty much stuck to my neighborhood.. or taken the back roads over to get the the road climbing to the park (hubby says we can't do that anymore til i stop being afraid to go faster coming back down the hill! it kills my hands cuz i'm a chicken and ride the breaks! )

when hubby does his rides he rides on the highway.. but i'm scared to death of that right now! the cars just drive way too fast! so far on the back roads they have all been great *knock on wood* and swerved away from me! maybe they can tell i'm a gurl and wobbly! lol!

unfortunately.. if i want to ride from home to anywhere.. i have to take the highway eventually.. or we'll have to drive somewhere where and start there...

palm springs and palm desert have a lot of bike trails.. but it's also an hour away.. but i'm sure eventually i'll want to ride somewhere other than our neighborhood!

i have a goal! feb 5th is the tour de palm springs and i plan to ride it! which length.. i don't know yet... they start as small as 5 then 10, 20 (i think) and go up to 50 and a century! who knows.. maybe i'll be ready for the century by then! lol! but hubby will have to slow down and stay with me (unless i do what everyone keeps saying and surpass him.. ya right! lol!)
