Biking 101

Our assignments in Thailand require the ability to ride a bike. June 1-3 miles daily. John 3-7 miles daily. We now each have a bike and a helmet. Yesterday we tried out our skill in a large parking lot. Today we went to a bike path in a local park. The bike path is good because it has been measured. To each of our suprise we rode 1.7 miles up a slow grade and 1.7 miles back down. Hooray for us! Don't be mistaken - it was work for me but not so much for John. We plan to do this daily for the next 4 1/2 months - until we leave. Please send positive thoughts our way! We need them.
