I discovered another trail in the Johnson County area. This trail was totally flat. This trail is north of I-435.
I’m having to take my bike somewhere else to ride. What does that mean? I have to transport my bike in my vehicle. Vehicles are a little crampy for a bike. No problem! Buy and have a bike rack installed! Another happy bike store and presto, “Have bike will travel!”
Although I’ve made it sound like I’m nearly as good as the pre-drug Lance Armstrong, that would be a lie. I was still very not in shape.
I’m happily pedaling away at my new bike trail. I come upon a runner. I am catching up to a runner. I’ve never passed anyone yet. I slowly catch up to the runner. I tell him I’m coming and “You re the very first person I’ve ever passed”. He says “that’s great”. All of a sudden and little dip in the road and a little hill gets in my way. The runner gains more of a lead ahead of me. “DRAT” The runner turns his head around and Yells at me, “You can do it…Come on!” The trail flattens out again, I put the pedal to the medal and sail past him. “Congratualtions!” he yells as I pass him buy and increase my lead.
I’ll never forget passing my first runner. I have bike high!
