Todays bike ride from home to the beach then back… 26.37mi! Definitely my first long distance bike ride. It felt good! felt the burn! But I did take note of certain things…

• The bike path is full of insects flying around at dusk
• remember to breathe even though you’re not feeling labored
• take a snack with you
• buy a helmet
• wear gloves with a little padding on the palms…
