It’s all completely innocent I assure you but I talked my wife into buying a couple of bikes at Costco. I think we got a great deal for two mountain bikes with front suspension for only $99 each. She says if we don’t use them, we can always return them.
My New Bike
Secretly I was hoping they would become part of our fitness routine.
Kim and I are different about stuff like this. I’m a gung-ho, just got back from Costco, let’s go for a ride kinda guy. She’s more along the lines of, we’ve got things we need to do first, and while I really want to do this, I haven’t ridden a bike in 37 years and the timing and mood has got to be just right sorta gal.
Don’t get me wrong. We are both committed to fitness and getting more active, but I probably have an ulterior motive with it.
Remember, I’m planning to climb Mt Kilimanjaro and I need to get healthier for it. She’s not planning on climbing the mountain. In fact I think Kim believes this is one more piece of evidence that her husband is continuing to have a midlife crisis. (she may be right!) Nonetheless, she is supportive and always willing to stretch a little.
So today we went bike riding.
One small ride for Dave and Kim, one big ride for health and fitness for both of us.
