Blue hills on 2 wheels

This is my new toy. I must say mt bikes have come a long way since the
days of the 1995 rock hopper I rode last.
The blue hills is a much more dangerous place on 2 wheels than on 2
feet. I really need to be more careful next time. The bike ride was a
blast, but I think I almost died during one of my 2 crashes, thank the
lord for helmets. A couple of things I learned onthis ride, 1. My
biking is as much fun as it used to be. And 1. Falling off of a bike
hurts more than it used to. I escaped with some scrapes, bumps, and
bruises. So I call it a successful day.

Now let's not get carried away and start thinking I have gone off on
some weirdo cycling craze, just something to break up the monotony,
and give me something to do on my rest says other than sit on my ass
and eat saturated fats.
Today's run was an easy 75 minutes to cutler park, around and back.
Cutler park is no arboretum. It really kind of sucks, low lying, muggy
and mosquito infested. I think I'll stick to the roads rather than
head back there on a regular basis.
