dolce's a hit!!

finally took my new bike out for a spin this morning. kale convinced me to join a beginner's ride that's on every saturday. was kinda nervous on the way there, cos it was the first time i'd been on my road bike on an open road.

the ride itself was ok. i was feeling good on the way out to our turn around point, but it really really sucked coming back. next time around, i will eat before i attempt to ride. i bonked big time. i also think it's just general lack of fitness and nerves, but well, i made it back to the finishing point. i just felt bad holding the rest of the group up. oh well, guess everyone has to start somewhere.

the other ladies on the ride loved the color of my bike!! one of them even mentioned she had the perfect shoes to go with the bike. i told the hubby he's created a monster - i can now go out and accessorise - purple helmet, socks, etc.. yeeha!!!

i'm aching so much right now. my thighs are so sore. kale owes me a massage... we're going to try another ride tomorrow evening with a bunch of his friends, so i need to get my thighs semi-relaxed again.

so yeah, my bike's a hit with the ladies. =) and i'm a hit with the hubby for riding this morning. all in all, a good day. now just to make sure that i can actually get back on my bike tomorrow.. *groan*
