Well, it's been 3 months now since I've starting cycling and I've had a great time!

Thought I'd share my top 10 experiences so far....

1) Bonked on my first long ride (20 miles). Had to stop at a convenience store for energy items.

2) Tried out clipping in - forgot to unclip the left foot on my first ride and promptly fell over and cut my leg, bruised my butt, bruised my ego, bruised my leg! Thought I'd learned my lesson...NOT

3) Tried to rescue a lost bulldog - stopped, reached down to grab him and forgot to unclip my left foot...AGAIN! Promptly fell over on top of the dog! Checked out his tags, thought, Yay, I can save him! Let go of dog to get the bike off of me and he booked it! No dog saving that day! Bruised AGAIN!

4) Ran over a piece of glass. Flat tire. No worries, the BF changed it! Cool

5) Hit a pothole. Flat tire. No worries, BF changed it....AGAIN. Yay

6) BF decided I need to learn how to change my own tires. Got lesson. (little does he know, I'm not going to have another flat tire )

7) Almost collided with BF on trail. Had to swerve into dirt. Almost ended up in canal but recovered. Wouldn't have been fun to try to unclip in rushing water!

8) Rode along the canal and ended up with a mouth full of knats. Yuck Not doing that again... those little suckers hurt when pedaling fast!

9) Passed a girl. Yay!

10) Got lectured by a hammerhead about passing. Not sure why he was lecturing ME, I wasn't passing anyone!

Still having the time of my life!

I'd like to hear your stories! Anyone?
