Wake up call

I went for a bike ride today.... It was a simple one from work to my new apartment. and back... I've never felt so out of it in my life. For the first time I've really felt how much I've let myself slide. All this desk work has been great for my head, but when was the last time I just went outside an just cruise for a really long time? It's been a while obviously. I found myself out of breath after two hills! Just one year ago I could bike around half of the Milwaukee metro area!!! Damn! I felt horrible. I've probably put on about 40 lbs since then....I want to go back. But I'm a desk jockey now. It sucks.

I'm thinking about getting a bike and riding in the evening when I get home from work....and since you'll be around the corner so to speak, we ought to ride....

Sounds good... It's a decent area too. Close to everything. Plus the east-wast link on the Oak Leaf is right in my "backyard"! That is really nice. Plus I think they've finished the Hank Aaron trail recently as well.

I've actually been considering getting a bike as well. I'll ride, but you guys have to come out my way :)

That's too bad... your area is super hilly nastyness :) I'll get there eventually. Does anyone know of a good place to get my bike tuned up a bit...it's been about 3 years since I've had it done.
