Bicycle riding: Notes to self
Tires filled. Helmet fits. Bike still a little taller for me than it ought to be, even with seat adjustment. Since it does not appear I will be getting any taller, must either adjust to the height or consider trading in pretty white-and-gold bike for a better fit. Am attached to pretty white-and-gold bike. Made the mistake of naming it when I acquired it. Her name is Patience, because she waits for me.
Naming the bike was a bad idea.
Other notes: Still know how to balance, how to breathe, what setting to adjust speed and gears to for personal comfort. Right knee hurts. This is a problem. Must find exercises to strengthen knee with a five-year-old history of Issues.
Not ready for hills. Did two hills today. Not ready for hills. They're doable but...ouch.
Didn't get to Ballard. Barely got out of Interbay. 'Sokay. Riding back and forth along the canal was lovely.
When I stopped, I coudn't spread out my blanket because the grass was full of goose poop.
When I sat on a bench to eat my sandwich, I was stalked by Canadian geese.
I'm getting into the shower now. Still convinced they're out to get me.
