Sunday bike ride

Yesterday I biked about 13-14 miles on the new bike. It went so very sweetly. Gears shifted smoothly. No clanking or feeling like they were going to pop out of gear. We went biking on the Fred Meijer's Heartland trail out of Greenville (well Sidney really). It was so quiet and peaceful, not a lot of bikers unlike the White Pine trail near our house. E who just turned 6 did really well the first 4 miles. We stopped for lunch and then the big guys and I went on for another couple of miles. We turned back and met T and E on the trail. E had some problems with the last 2-3 miles. Pretty good for a kid who's only been biking on a two-wheeler for about a month.
I could really tell that the cardio training is working. My legs were hardly tired at all at the end of the day. I was working on a gear 4-5 quite easily. I did some sprints where I got all gears engaged as well. I did 3 or 4 sprints over the ride.
Weather was glorious. I've got a bit of a sun burn but not too bad. Can't wait to get out there again.
