5 mile bike

I actually remembered my water bottle this morning when I was leaving to go for a bike ride. Then I put it on the tail gate of the truck. I found it when I got home from the park after riding only 5 miles. The good part about todays ride was that at the end I totally felt like I could make another lap. I would have to, except it's starting to get insanely hot here and I got a late start. And since my water didn't make it all the way to the park with me, well, I thought I better not chance it. Next week, I am totally doing 10 miles, water or no water. I need to get a move on. One thing I definitely need to do before I go on the 10 miler is put the arm rest bar on the handle bars. That is one thing that kills me about riding. My wrists end up wicked sore, and I haven't figured out a way to ride to fix that. I'm hoping the arm rest will do the trick. Hopefully I'll be swimming next week. And we can ALL laugh about how badly I do. oy, can't wait.
