Bike Ride February 25, 2008

                                                                                              
So I decided to venture out on a bike ride yesterday. I rode to Cocoa Beach which is about 10 miles from where I live. I was doing really good except for my aching butt! Those bike seats are incredibly uncomfortable. Mind you this seat had extra cushion and I don’t quite have a flat butt either. So by the time I got to the beach I was ready to give my buns a break from the torture. It was such a beautiful day to lay on the sands of Cocoa Beach. I just laid and relaxed in the warm Florida sun. Unfortunately my relaxation was interrupted by a lady smoking and a pathetic whining 9 year old who was screaming about a scratch on his hand and screaming at the top of his lungs “OW! IT’S SWELLING!!!” over and over again. Holy Moly someone smack the kid! Sorry just have this really annoyance for whiny boys. So after I relaxed for about an hour I decided that my butt should be ready for the ride back. Boy was I wrong. It felt bruised. I thought to myself how in the world am I going to ride for 10 miles back home in this much pain? And much too prideful to call Darrell to come pick me up I just sucked it up and started trudging along. Unfortunately also working against me was the evening coastal wind I had to ride into. Oi! Imitating the little train that could I kept thinking to myself “I think I can, I think I can” and when it came to riding over the Cocoa Beach bridge I really needed to motivate myself. So I made myself a promise that if I was able to get over the bridge I would treat myself and my sore buns to a smoothie. And well I did get over that hill and made it to “Tropical Smoothie” for a treat. That sure did help my moral and buns. After a quick drink and a chat with the ever handsome Jeff Schaefer I made my way back home. I made it back in one piece thank goodness! Also what is crazy is my dad rides his bike for 100 miles at a time! He must have buns of steel! Sheesh! I am totally impressed. Well I bet you all never knew that riding a bike could be so incredibly interesting. However involve me and you got yourself some kind of issue. I will give the bike another chance. Someone at work assured me that my buns will get used the bike seat so I will try it out again just as soon as my buns heal. Well now that I have referenced to my buns about a hundred times I will stop here.
