Don't know if I've actually started. I tell myself I'm just testing the waters. 'Course, I've biked since I was in grade school. Idea was to use sabbatical year to get in better shape: bike-commute and weekend tour the area (weather permitting), walk come winter, work out at a gym. Then Trek420 put in a wish for her b'day present -- Cindy Classic 30th anniversary jersey -- and wow, what a beautiful jersey it is! So I asked if she thought I could get in shape to ride that too, and here I am trying to do it. If I finish, then maybe I'll feel I deserve a jersey for myself too. Anybody who knows me sees the irony: Me, of all people, getting serious about biking (or any other sport), and all for ... fashion?!? But, hey, any reason to get in shape has gotta be good, right?
