Title: New adventure for me
Post by KristenAnn on 07/30/11 at 13:05:16

Today riding was an awesome day. When i go riding i usually turn left (west) to the hills and scenery. Today i took a right instead and went to the "big" city. My goal was to make it to my best friends house 2 cities over. Never been there on the bike. Well seeing as i have never been on the inerstates around here it was very daunting. I found a way to get there on surface street granted it took me 2x as long but i did it. Yeah me. Then i went to meet a friend i havent seen on 2 yrs. surface streets, all good. Then when it was time to leave i had a big decision to make. From whre i was i could go the longggggggg way or get on the Massachsetts Turnpike. I decided after my long drink of icy water that i was going to get on the interstate. I did it. First time on a highway!!! It was like a 10 mile ride but i did it. I am glad that i am overcoming fear on my bike. Now for the next adventure. Who knows. :D :D

Way to go! Keep doing those short trips on the intestate and you will be going the long distances in no time. The trick is to be comfortable going 60 - 70 mph. The traffic is far less daunting when you are moving along with it.

Good for you! Short trips are nice but nothing smacks of accomplishment like a long trip. I make it a goal to do one long one a month to someplace random. Last week I went to Topeka from Kansas city for a small Chinese restraunt. Best steamed dumplings ever!

Try keeping a photo log of your bike to the different places!

getting lost is one of my specialties. I have no grout to clean but my favorite Polka is "In heaven there is no beer" that's why we drink it here. :D
