Each time I get on my bike, the
ride seems to get shorter and shorter! What can I say I’m hooked! I don’t know
what’s better - being able to get some early morning exercise, feeling better
about my workouts, saving the environment or the nature trials that I get to
bike along! If you ever want to join me, we can always attach extra seats onto
the bike! (Image provided by www.funnypoon.com) 
My biking speed average continues
to increase each week that I do this competition. If you remember me saying
that I did start a week early because I am a keener, and I was averaging 15
km/h, now my average speed in 18 km/hr. Although that is not a large increased
speed, my routes vary and my time does as well! I checked by ODO today as well
and I have completed 359 since I got the bike! I think that’s crazy to think, I
haven’t been going that far, and in my car that’s 2 or 3 tanks of gas and $150!
The first week that I started
biking I thought to myself, “Man, these hills are going to kill me” and “This
is too far, I might as well give up now”. I was very excited to participate,
however not having biked in 6 months made it difficult for me to be optimistic.
However, that is no matter, as now I’m feeling more energized, I am even able
to stay up later and get up earlier! Before this competition, I found it
difficult to stay up past 10.30 p.m. (sad, I know!) and I found it difficult to
get out of bed before 9 (What can I say I love sleep!). Now, my sleeping patterns,
eating choices and lifestyle have all changed!
Biking is something that I enjoy doing, whether it be taking out the
e-bike to the store, or taking out my Trek to work!
Although,
if you are reading this I would like to bring to your attention that bikers
when they are in the left turning lane, are allowed to be there because they
need to turn left! When you see me turning left from Northfield onto King, please don’t try to
side swipe me again! I will be much happier!
I can’t
believe that we are only two weeks into this competition! I can only recommend
and encourage all readers of this blog to crack out their bikes and get biking!
It is an easy work out, it is nice to get the fresh air, and you go a whole lot
faster than running!
I would
like to thank ziggy’s for everything, the bike, and all the accessories because
that timer on the bike saves me all the time! It is so nice to be able to see
how long it has been since I left the house and when I get to work, and I can
secretly have competitions and try to beat my times!
Anyways, That’s
all for now!
