Omaha has an impressive trail network . Eventually all the different trails will be linked up allowing someone with a lot of stamina to ride completely around the city. The nearest of the trails to where we live is the Keystone-South trail.
We road the 1 mile to the Keystone-South Trailhead and headed south on the trail. It's an impressive paved trail with 100 meter markers embedded in the concrete along the way. We road for an hour which meant about 7 miles. This may seem a little short but we had a 10 - 15 mph headwind for the first half of the ride and it slowed us down considerably. Considering how sedentary we both have been lately, I feel we did pretty well.
We both returned home with sore behinds and we may have some aching muscles later. I decided to do something about the bicycle crotch issues and bought myself some bicycle pants with ample padding in the tender areas. Hopefully this will allow me to ride longer and enjoy it more.

Riding without padded bike pants? Are you nuts?
ReplyDeleteGH: After the first ride, yes I am nuts. That has been corrected.
