Things I've learned thus far

Okay, so I've just started training and getting this thing off the ground, but I've already learned quite a fair bit! 

Here are some of my findings as of recent:

1) Road bike seats are a lot harder than my mountain bike seat.
2) It's a 7 minute drive to work in my car.  It's a 15 minute ride to work on my bicycle.  I should ride more.
3) While still cold in the morning, it's nice to hear the birds chirping as I ride compared to listening to music and drowning out the world around me.  This is another reason I should ride to work.
4) Road bikes seem to feel every bump, need to go slower around corners, yet go a lot faster.
5) My average speed is around 12.5 miles per hour, with uphills and downhills. At this rate, I should only have to ride about 3 hours a day down the coast.  Granted this data is without the trailer attached.
6) If reading this blog on your phone, it may be hard to read.  You will need to view it as a web page (an option at the bottom of the screen.)
7) One of the most beautiful things while riding so far is seeing the cherry blossoms sprinkle off the trees like snow in the still chilly mornings. 
8) Due to riding, I feel super energetic in the morning, like I can take on the world.  I started thinking, maybe I could ride to Montana this summer as well... The afternoons however, are making me tired.
9) A big feat, No. But have I done it before, No...My goal was to ride to work and back everyday this week.  On day 3, I'm taking a sick day.  Boo... Maybe I can make it up on Saturday...
10) Blogging is fun.  I hope it's fun to read and I look forward to sharing more!
