tired and happy

I have had this idea that I want to start riding my bike into the studio every day, it's about 7.4 miles one way - sounds easy. Well today I did my first test run. It proved a few things. 

One, I am out of shape - more than I thought. 

Two, my bike is out of shape. I threw the chain half way their and had to make it work. After I type this I am off to the bike shop to have it looked at. 

Three, going to the studio is much easier than coming home. It only took me 30 minutes to get in, but almost an hour to get home. It was uphill the entire way back, we don't live in an area of Denver called Wellshire Heights for nothing. 

All in all it was successful, although my legs have decided not to let me stand on them at the moment.
