New Bike Route...
This morning I was hoping to bike to work again, but realized I couldn't as I had a dentist appointment first thing that morning. Instead I went for a bike ride around my area. It was a lot of fun. I decided to go down streets I had never gone down before. I found routes that would be perfect for my runs. I also found streets that I will have to avoid until I feel REALLY strong (aka really steep hills). Exploring was fun, and I was able to find my way back in time to get ready.

Day 114 - Friday, July 18, 2008 - Bike Ride
The Bike Ride.... again....
This afternoon I ventured out with my bike to see how far I could go. My goal was to bike to Bridal Veil Falls. I had tried before but had to turn around as I was still to weak from recovering from a sinus/ear infections. It's amazing how much strength you have when you are feeling well. I made it to bridal falls a lot faster than I expected. I decided to see how far the bike path went after this. I made it to Vivian Park, and couldn't figure out where the bike path went, as it ended at the park, and then I saw many different paths all over. I didn't feel like going exploring too much. Plus the pond at Vivian Park SMELLED REALLY BAD!!!
Here are some pictures of my escapade:
Here is a picture of the pond that REALLY STUNK at Vivian Park. I think it only stunk where I was standing though, as there were a lot of people on the other side fishing.
Here is a picture of Bridal Veil Falls. Generally you see this picture taken on the right side of the falls, but I took it on the left because I rode beyond it.

Day 52 - May 17, 2008
Bike Ride!
I have spent the past month wanting a bike and have been doing research, going to stores, etc. Last week, I finally found the bike right for me, and was able to bring it home last Wednesday. It's so beautiful... it's light green! Well that was about the same time I began to get sick as well. So while being sick, I would just look at my bike, touch it, and really really really wish that I could take it out for a ride. Especially since we are finally having really nice spring weather. This morning, I finally woke up not feeling like I want to die, and decided that this is a good reason to go on a bike ride. I didn't go for a long one, because I didn't want to over do it. Also as I was bike riding I realized that my strength really isn't what it use to be and maybe I'm not completely better yet.
I live in such a beautiful area. The mountains are pretty much in my backyard. So I rode up the Canyon a little bit. The trails are gorgeous!!!! at this time of the year. I took some pictures of my ride, and put it to a song that was stuck in my head during the ride. I think the pictures would have had a better effect if I used something from Debussy, or Ravel, but I thought it would be better to have everyone experience what I was thinking at the time :-).... oh, I added additional pictures to make it match the timing of the song, and to enhance the song's lyric meaning even more.
