Collecting dust

My gear shifter is busted.  My bike is covered in some goo I rode over on the street.   I mean it’s every where in the frame in the tires the chain the sprockets everywhere.  I only have one gear.  So i need to get back on track.  Back to riding.

Bike light

I took a ride to walmart about 6 miles.  I locked up my bike and trailer and went shopping.   When I went back to get my bike someone took my bike light.  I can’t believe that someone would take another person’s bike light.   Jokes on them the light was broken. 

NO MOTIVATION

I HAVE HAD ANY MOTIVATION TO BIKE AT ALL.  I AM WORKING ON LOSING WEIGHT AND SO FAR HAVE LOST ABOUT 25 POUNDS.  I WILL KEEP IT UP AND WORK TO GET BACK ON MY BIKE

Starting over

I haven’t been riding at all.  I currently weigh 350 pounds I would like helpful suggestions on how to start riding again.   Thanks in advance

Rent….

If you think this is about me not having enough to pay the rent your wrong.  It is about me being too cheap to buy a stamp.  My rent is due today!  Being that I have been lazy I have either been asking my mom to drive me (She has been using my car for the better part of a year)  or I have popped it in the mail.  But this month I have systematically sabotaging everything I need to get the letter in the mail.  Envelopes I have put in a safe place ( which means I lost them) stamps forgot to buy them.  

That only leaves one thing to do on my lunch hour I have to ride to the rental place and pay up in person.   Its about a 5 mile ride I used to do between 8 and 10 everyday so I know i can do it but I have been so lazy about riding.  I fought with myself yesterday for the better part of the day until i finally went out.  Today i will go out because i have to.  

I don’t wanna go…

I am on my second week of riding everyday.  Today I didn’t ride when I got up.  I normally just go today I am not motivated.  I did make some things in my studio.  But still not desire to go anywhere.  THIS MEANS I HAVE TO GO.  If i don’t go all my hard work will blow up in my face.  So come the lunch hour I am at least gonna go around the block.

 

UPDATE:

I did go for a quick ride.  It was short and sweet but I DID IT

Creative Juices are flowing

I haven’t been painting lately but i have been making art.  SO soon i will be posting new stuff

Something to think on…

Found a drunk person.

I went for a ride today.  I was a about two blocks house from my house riding right next to a car dealership when I notice a pair of tennis shoes then legs and feet and finally ahead sticking out wedged between a retaining wall and a parked Jeep.  it was easily over a 100 degrees outside.  Honestly I thought this lady was dead.  I rode over to one of the sales persons and told them.  Honestly I didn’t want to start poking her in case she was you know not alive.  Luckily the lady was just passed out and not dead.  She was the strangest thing I have found yet on my bike rides.

Its 7:48 in the MORNING….

I don’t have to go to work until 10 am and i have been sorta awake since about 6.  I have passed my bike Skaro about 5 times this morning I can hear it calling me Mynkist get your lazy behind outside and ride me.  I am taking this starting to ride a bike again very slowly I have a tendency to start riding too fast and burn out.  this time i have a different tactic I am starting super slow. My thought is to slowly build up my endurance so i don’t injury myself and don’t burn out.  i have rode more then twice the amount i did last year up to an amazing 373 miles  that i have logged with my map my ride app .  i want to at least be up to closer to 500 by the end of the year.  I was using my cart to shop which i have stopped.  i need to build back up to the 12 mile round trip ride to get my grocery.  I want to be able to do that at least once a week.  For now its a quick ride around the arroyo and maybe a little bit more.
