Just started back to riding my bike after a long time
I used to love to ride...20-30 miles was no big deal...

So this weekend my husband and I checked out the Boston Bridge trail along the Yough here in Pittsburgh...

We biked 12 miles and enjoyed it immensely, I would like to do it again next week.

My bike (the tank) needs a bit of work...but it was so nice to take it out after almost a 10 year hiatus...

1. Good for you!
It's amazing how easy it is to put off riding until years go by, isn't it?

I'm glad to hear that you're back on your bicycle and enjoying the fall scenery. I need to get myself some cold weather gear and do the same.

:)

Side Comment, I doubt you will go next week end, they are predicting rain, frost and maybe even some snow. That is the problem with October (Through it may be nice again by Saturday):

3. I hope it clears up at least for a few more rides...
I am also hoping to get my kids out too...but my little girl isn't yet ready to ride without her training wheels...and they are a pain in the butt...they need constant adjustment...so we are working on her "stability" ...
