I went for my first official bike ride of the season today
It was painful and long and I wondered how anyone could ever think bicycling was fun. My legs were tired, and hills were too steep, and the wind seemed to constantly be working against me.

I got downtown (about 6 miles) and decided to turn around, come home, and live my life as a couch potato from now on.

But before I got back home (somewhere around the 10 mile mark) the endorphins kicked in and life became good again. The hills weren't so bad, and the wind felt kinda nice.

Bicycling is fun.
