Shady’s back, back again!!!

It's been 20 years and 100+ lbs and I finally, after a few years of talking sht, I finally went and bought a bike 2 weeks back and got out today for the first time…. every muscle hurts, even ones i didn't remember exist, my ass is asking for a BBL just from trying to sit for 3 seconds on a bike seat again, my shins are bruised and I busted my ass no less than 4 glorious times in that 30 minute session but Gd DAMN do i love it! I said I'd just "pedal around a bit" and "get used to the feel again" and I didn't make it 20ft without attempting a whiplash and like Emiral Lagasse, "BAM!"… Landed it first try after 20+ years. Obviously that feeling of accomplishment led me to desperate attempts to feel young again and I failed miserably, but I can't say how excited I am to be covered in sweat with shin bruises and a bruised ego again. My wife did that for me the first couple years together which made letting the bike go easier, but now, not only did i trade her in for this younger model bike, but I upgraded at the same time 🤣. At least I dont need to take the trash out and do dishes to ride her! Ha, I love this bike. So much difference in bike geometry and technology between then and now it's not even funny. So glad to be back on it
