First Ride- Life is Good

Took my first ride on my new bicycle last evening. It is a Trek 7000 (being always loyal to Wisconsin). A ride around the apartment parking lot then out the bike path under the highway and back. It wasn't long- maybe 15 minutes, but it felt great. I had forgotten the wonderful feel of riding along on a bike enjoying what's around.

I don't know how good a shape I am in for path rides of longer distance. Will try to find that out on Friday morning when I take off for a short jaunt on the Douglas State Trail. As a former rail right of way it is flat. As a friend said it is a good trail to get the feel of the bike and how it works. There will be a picture coming.
