If
you think that only in-shape people try doing crazy things like bicycling
for transportation you are wrong! These next few pages will allow you
to follow us as we suffer through the long process of getting in shape
to hopefully ride on the 200 mile Seattle-to-Portland ride in July of
2001. At this point it has been a long soggy fall and winter and we didn't
ride at all. Now we must push as much as possible to accomplish our goals
in time. The hard part for myself will be overcoming several health problems
that have sprung up, some new just this winter. The kids have the advantage
of good health on their side. The
kids are beginning this season with learning basic skills. They are working
on remembering to always wear their helmets, riding in a straight line,
listening for traffic, riding near the side of the road, and most importantly
being a predictable cyclist. Having
been quite ill during the Christmas holiday and beyond I am just trying
to get on a bike again. I took my first ride today (1-11-01) Yea!Before
we are ready to start up our monster bike we must first be better cyclists
individually. We must be able to pull our own weight before adding that
of a huge bike and trailer. This goes for myself as well.
Thanks!
