FatBloggers.net A little push to lose the tush.

After a trip over my handlebars a week ago last Monday night, I got back in the saddle again this morning and took a long ride.  Well, long for me, anyway.  I rode from my house and made a twenty-mile round trip to Hat Rock State Park, a place I believe I’ve blogged about before. I was gone a couple of hours, but I took some time while I was there to ride around the park a little bit, and even up the trail and around the rock itself.  The trip back was a little tougher as it was more uphill, but not too bad. 

The other evening, I was invited to participate in a group ride from our local bike shop.  When I got there, I quickly found that these were real road hounds with nice road bikes and all the right gear.  I was way out of my league.  I appreciated the offer, but I politely declined.  Hey, I’m just a guy with a trail bike and a helmet.  I had the idea to maybe start a fat guys’ biking group for guys like me who are just wanting to be in shape.  You don’t have to be a die-hard rider to get a lot of benefit out of a group ride.  I’ll have to ponder that one for next year.
