This past Saturday was the 3rd annual Bike the Big Easy, and Chuck and I decided to ride again. This is one of those super cool events in the city but this year was the hardest ride so far! It’s definitely not from being out of shape, although I wasn’t in great bike shape. Sadly, I tweaked my knee around mile 12 and just started cramping up. Humidity and the wind were not good combos for me. So I ended up taking a short cut back to the finish line and finishing 15 miles rather than the 20. Fortunately it’s just a fun ride and not a race so no harm, no foul.
Biking around the city is certainly great exercise. But it’s also a great way to see the sites and pay a little more attention to some areas that you wouldn’t normally see in a car. I love it and hopefully next year I’ll be able to get through the full ride without getting injured.
On to the next sporty event!!!
