I've got a new bike! Sort of ...
Categories: Health and Fitness Sports
Stopped by my dad's house last night to borrow his bicycle. Back around 1986, he bought a VERY expensive mountain bike - a Specialized Rockhopper. Probably cost around $500 at the time. 20 years later, it's still in pretty good condition, though I can't seem to get it to go into the lowest 5 speeds (it's a 15 speed, and the chain doesn't want to go onto the smallest of the three front spindles).
At any rate, since I can't seem to walk, jog, or run as exercise anymore due to ongoing foot problems, I guess I'll have to turn to the bike.
The American Tobacco Trail is only a few miles from my house. The southern end is west of Apex (entrance off New Hill-Olive Chapel Road), and it travels north along the old railroad bed 22 miles to the old durham bulls baseball park in northern durham county.
the nice thing about it is that it's relatively flat. It is a railroad bed, after all. It's perfect for biking. I'm not a fan of hills. I may make my first trek this weekend.
