My name is Brandy and I had the pleasure of taking my first ride with Traylseeker. For weeks we talked about starting riding along the University of Richmond, so when our scheduled date arrived, I was so excited. I couldn't wait to get off from work and change into my comfy clothes and take a ride on my new bike with my matching helmet. This was going to be fun and easy.
When the ride began, the first hill felt great. It was so hot and stuffy outside and the air felt so good hitting my skin. I was geared up. We crossed Three Chopt and headed to the campus crossing several residential roads. When we got to Baldwin Street, I immediately changed my mind about how easy this was. It seemed like there was one hill after another at that point. Traylseeker was hitting those hills like it was NOTHING and so I was embarrassed for myself. I kept apologizing for holding him up. He turned around and smiled, "You are doing great!"
By the time we got to the campus, I had gotten off my bike and "walked it" several times. My back was drenched and my legs were aching. God, am I really that out of shape? I had never been so exicited to reach my target location and even overcome with joy by the time we arrived back home. The first thing I said upon returning was, "Next Wednesday we should ride out to Kroger". He just laughed and shook his head, "That's only up the road!" Maybe up the road is a better way to start! I guess I will set my sights on RLAG!
