After seeing all the great epic rides that people have done, and the
beautiful pictures they have taken, I decided to get up and go for my
longest ride yet. To most of you it may not seem that long, but I did a
6.25mi ride on my 24" Torker LX in a little less than an hour. In
actuallity, the ride was probally more like 6.75 or 7 miles because it
was over hill and dale. I'm hoping to build up enough endourance to do
15mi on my 15th birthday on Sept. 4th, but with my 24" I'm not sure if
I will or not. I'm also hoping to get a Coker here soon, but maybe I'll
wait unitil I see what the new ones look like... Anywho, the ride was
very enjoyable and I only got one 'HONK! HEYYY!!!' from a car (I think
I knew him, but I'm not sure...). This guy walking his dog said that I
was very good, which is nice to hear over the usual. The only downside
to my ride was some major chaffing near the end and afterwards. I do
have an airsaddle that I made on it, but the sides still make my legs
raw. Below is a picture of the beautiful vineyards that I passed. I
hope this is the first of many long and enjoyable rides to come.
