It's been two months since I moved to Cambridge. I must admit...shamefully...that I have neither been playing ultimate nor biking. The closest indoor ultimate is not accessible w/o car, and apparently pick up goes on during the week before I leave work. BUT. All this un-fitness and inactivity is gonna change!
I've finally gotten my shoes and shorts and other gear from NY this past weekend. Bought a floorpump and new tires too (will only ride on Continental Ultra Gatorskin from now on. If I didn't wipe out on that turn into Groveland I would have made it through all 3,700 something miles without one flat.) Can't wait to get back on my LeMond (yay blue bikes!), feel the wind blowing into my face and listen to the wheels roll against the road. I'm sure there will be some huffing and puffing. But that's why it's fun.
Riding solo is different, though. I'll have to cheer myself on and get used to not having pals to yell "car back" all the time.
I'm seriously considering blowing up that picture of me on the Rockies and hanging it on my wall. Maybe I'm in need of some visual reminder of how awesome it used to be.
