Tour De France

As I have already said I finally have my bike in NJ. Today I took it out for a spin. I was a little unsteady (mostly on the turns) but did not fall down. I did have to stop once to keep from falling over but I do not count that as a fall. The hardest part was remembering how to make the gears harder. I was going pretty good but wanted to up the resistance, about half way around the loop I tried figuring that I had a 50/50 shot as their are only 2 levers.

I picked the wrong one and my feet started flying in every direction (ok just really fast circles). I fixed that problem then gave myself a little extra resistance to finish the last 2 miles or so. It was nice to ride again. Next time I will have to give the canal a try. It looks pretty and most importantly it is strait!

Pat says I'm ready for the Tour De France!
