Sometimes I have bright ideas that aren't always well thought out. I decided I needed to start doing more road riding. I have never ridden around Lake Draper but decided I would...how hard could it be? Right? I hop on my bike and head north. About three miles down the road I have to make a decision. Do I continue to go forward, do I turn left down the marginal road or hop on what looks to be a newly paved bike trail. Well, I take the bike trail! Bad choice...the bike trail leads to the highway! I turn around thinking that I'll just head back toward my car which would give me 6 miles and then I would go north 3 miles and turn back to give me a total of 12 miles. (confusing enough?) So I start heading back south. Let me just add that I am a scaredy cat. Every time something moves in the grass I want to hop off my bike and run away! Because I would be so much faster. Haha. So I'm biking along and here comes this weird looking guy with no shirt on riding a small kids bike. I start thinking he's going to kill me and drag me off to the lake. He stops to ask me where the road goes. I decide to try and speed away telling him the road just goes straight. Now I can't turn around!! If I turn around then he could sneak up behind me and kill me. So I decide at this point I will have to go all the way around. By the time I get back to my car I notice I went a grand total of 20 miles! Yea me! PS...I haven't been able to feel my butt for 3 days!!!
