Cycling is Hot!

Last Saturday Eric and I rode in our first official Cycle Ride. Well, I take that back. Our first one was 2 Fridays ago; the Mayor’s Ride that kicked off Bike! Charlotte for the next 16 days. That one doesn’t count in terms of the length of ride but it certainly counted in terms of us getting out there with hundreds of others and getting our feet (or our legs) wet. Anyway, we rode in the Cycle Charlotte ride last Saturday for 14 miles! It was the absolute BEST. Now since we are hooked again – we both rode in our much younger days – I am excited to assemble more N’shapers to wheel the pavement with us. We have already identified where you can get your bikes – just waiting on the discount level – as well as our next ride in June. My advise to you? Get ready as we did by riding in your  neighborhood, around the block a few times and add more times gradually. Get used to your seat (it hurt) and after a while it won’t hurt anymore. Once you build your stamina for riding and your tolerance for pain (on the seat) you’re ready for your first big ride too. I hope it’s in June with us!
