So after the winter from hell in Chi-town with our freezing temps and snow as of last week, I had a huge swig of reality of hopefully this crap will end soon! And in the last week or so it's finally stupid nice outside. Being as I've always been a big guy and have been working on slimming for years, but alas I've never had good luck with it. I always have been and hopefully won't always be!
After some thinking I realized I am either taking a bus or driving to work about 12 miles round trip every day. I figured I should get a damn bike and save the money and get some damn exercise. And bam, spent most of my rent check on a nice Trek 7.3 FX. Was a bit more then I wanted to spend but I turns out papa bear knows the owner of a local cycle shop and pointed me in the right direction. So I went in on a mission and was successful. Below is the mess that was stuffed into the back of my Jeep to get it to my apt!
Today was my first trip to work and back. If you get the chance to visit Chicago, find a bike(Do the bike share Divvy, its worth the few bucks) and ride the Lakefront Trail. It is b-e-a-utiful.... Pre-rehearsal during the day was a nice warm ride in, and after a nice empty quiet peaceful trip home with a pretty friend from work, ride home. Speaking of it was some nice flirt time which I don't get enough of. The history with this gal aint exactly positive. Asked when I could take her on a date and got the 'I don't know...' and we haven't spoken much up until now so it was great to maybe make some sort of clinging to fuck knows what progress! Besides, we're adorable together! $10 says she finds this posting...
So here's to a fat guy hopefully not being like that for long!
Cheers my friends!
