So yesterday after getting "The Hubby's" bike tire fixed (only after owning it for less than 24 hours) we went for two bike rides while the kids were in school.  We rode up to a little Mexican place near the kids daycare.  We had an awesome lunch and I didn't feel sick and took a long new way home where on the way home, I got attacked by a cactus.  First time ever while living here and I go out, I get attacked.  No it wasn't a big tall one either, it was one that was round and close to the ground and I really just did not see it.

So we get back and I freshen up and I go to my doctor's appointment and when I get home he's asks if I want to go for another bike ride.  I figure why not.  It's good exercise, nice day, let's go.  We're gone for about maybe 45 minutes and I think we rode maybe two miles.  Nothing to crazy considering I haven't really biked since high school and we were off roading too.  It was a little scary for me at times but it wasn't for too long before we had found the road again.

One day we are going to get a babysitter and start early like around 8am or so and just ride around without the kids.  I would like to take them but there are some places that a bike with training wheels and a trailer just can't go.  Plus I don't feel comfortable enough with "N's" riding skills to let him ride in the bike lane.

So needless to say I slept quite well and need to go to bed earlier.  Today I have kept the kids home and are going to take them on a few bike rides too.  I figured maybe when it gets too hot that we can buy this thing that will turn your bike into a stationary one.  Might be more fun than an elliptical machine.

I've been cutting back on my calorie intake and candy bars so hopefully I should lose some weight and it's more fun to ride than it is for me to go to the gym.  It was a nice day yesterday and I felt bad that I was just too tired after the other two bike rides to take them.

We'll see how many bike rides we can go on today.
