Butt - my butt

A few weeks ago, M and I got new bikes! We have the mountain style bikes already, but we bought cruisers this time because we wanted to just take some easy rides on the weekends.

Today, we went on the Henry Hudson trail. It's 9 miles in one direction, then you gotta turn around and come back...so we rode 18 miles!!!

So much for the easy rides on the weekends! What were we thinking?

Thank goodness the cruiser has a wide load seat for my butt! It has a bit more cushion than the mountain bike. That's the one thing I never got used to when riding a bike for a long time...is the toll it takes on your inner butt. And I got a lot of padding back there, you would think it wouldn't affect me that much!

We rode in a very relaxed and casual way. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! I cannot remember another Labor Day weekend where the weather was absolutely perfect! Bright blue skies, the temperature was in the mid-70's, very low humidity and a nice soft breeze blowing.

After this weekend, the summer crowd will go back home and hopefully we'll be able to ride our bikes up on the boardwalk. That's my favorite because then you can look at the ocean the whole time you are riding!

I'm gonna go rest my butt now!!! Have a lovely weekend all!
