Saturday morning, I ran out to do a few things but when I returned, my hub was actually awake and told me he had a surprise for me. He said he felt bad that I haven't bought anything for myself in a while and wanted to buy me something I would really enjoy. So, we headed out. He slowed down in one area while driving because he wanted to go into a store that was no longer there. Just our luck! So, he kind of had to tell me what he wanted to get me because he didn't know where else to find it. He said he wanted to buy me a mountain bike! So we went to a bike shop that wasn't too far away and picked out a nice, new, shiny, red, expensive Raleigh mountain bike. It is really nice. I may need to adjust it a little bit but it is great. I took it out yesterday for about an hour, just riding up and down the streets in my development. It is meant for like 70% street and 30% trails, which is what I will be doing. I enjoy it immensely and it is another way to exercise my excessively large rear. Also, do I need a helmet? I haven't worn a helmet on a bike ever. I just figure, if I am dumb enough to fall off of it by doing something I shouldn't be doing, then I deserve to get hurt. I still have to get completely comfortable on it because I haven't ridden a bike in almost 20 years. But, it is true, riding a bike is like riding a bike.
