My First Cycling Adventure

I joined a biking group and went for a "beginner's" ride yesterday. It was supposed to be flat terrain but it wasn't. I ended up walking my bike uphill many times along the route. We were supposed to ride 15 easy miles but we rode 18 grueling miles.

There was a dog incident, a beetle bug in my mouth incident, a popping of chain incident, a going off into a ditch, which almost ended in a wipeout, incident and a close to tears wanting to call my husband to come pick me up but he was at work incident.

Three hours later...I was sunburned, nauseous and had a sore bottom, but I did it.
