    We got our son a mtn. bike for his bday. It is his first bike that changes gears. The guys at the bike shop suggested a mtn. bike over a street bike b/c they are a bit tougher and boys can be rough on those things. We spent a little extra and got a Raleigh. He rode about three miles with us tonight and he had the best time. Next week I am going to take him over to a state park and we are going to bike some of the trails. He is so excited and so am I.

    That is really a great way to spend time with your son Bamboo. I hope you two have many miles of happy riding together.

    I think for you we have to create a thread "How many break's do you teake between rides?":wink:

    LOL--that will never happen.

    I'm not riding today at all--it's 6 am and already 78 degrees here! but I'm going to get talk to the gym today about joining so I'll have something to do on off-bike days! YEA!!

    Went to my new gym for the first time today and they have these virtual bikes. They're just like real bikes, pedal toe cages and all, and have a little screen on the handlebars. YOu pick your ride from the selection and then it's like you're riding with a group! there's a pace guy, too, and you can set high fast he goes. Hills and everything--different scenery, even turn the handlebars just like on a real bike to stay on course! Great fun!

    I did 10 miles on it and was sweating like I couldn't believe! Are we counting exercise bike miles? If so, that gives me 86 for the week.
