I love riding my bike, and my favorite part of the ride is being outdoors and enjoying the scenery. But I know my limits, and my days of riding out side are over for the season. However, I'm not done riding!
Riding indoors and staring at a wall listening to music isn't ideal, but it'll work in a pinch. Though, the challenge I had was putting my bike on that dreaded stationary trainer. The last two years I had a riding buddy set it up for me. In the blink of an eye I was up and running.
Of course I shouldn't have blinked, because I had no idea how he did it. Remember me and that "teach a man to fish" theory; I should have learned to "fish".
This year it was impossible to find a time when my buddy could set me up. Looks like I would have to teach myself to fish.
But you know me, I'm resourceful. Where there's a will there's a way! That, and You-tube doesn't hurt either. I watched the guy put his bike on his trainer and I knew I had this.
Easy-Peasy!
Presto! Simple enough.
Then put the one from the trainer back on. Oddly enough, it looked just like the one I just took off. What was the point...
It sure looked like it was mission accomplished.
And I did it all by myself!!
Don't you just love when a plan comes together?!?
And a bonus... I have one more part than I started with... Oops:) I sure hope that wasn't important.
Have a great day!!
Christine:)
Christine, I’m on my “catching up world blog tour.” Of course, I especially love catching up with your blog because "right in your backyard" is my backyard too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the fun stuff you're doing with the grand babies! It was a good plan to have the adults out numbering the kids to go to Chuck E Cheez! I remember “kidnapping" a friends boy and girl a number of years ago for a day with Aunt Nani and Uncle John to give their mom a break. It was fun, but boy, were we exhausted at the end of the day! Even ratio with The kids was brutal! LOL
Although tinged with a little jealousy, thank you, thank you for all the pics from the parks! Especially the fall ones since I haven't been out much recently. Come spring I plan to make up for this year with gusto!
OW, the fingers in the door! But rocking the latest fashion trend in nail painting is SO Christine for a solution to the Black and blue under the nail! But congrats on "learning to fish” without sticking yourself with a hook. ;) Let me know if you figure out where the extra spring came from. I mean, well, it could just be "manufacturer job security.” Phantom extra parts to get you to call in for tech support.
We're long overdue for a coffee and gab session! The Starbucks we used always go to is closed, so we'll have to choose a new one. In must've only been crowded when we were there. ;) We rockstar-types do tend to draw a crowd.
