Riding in the Bucket.

Anyone who is from southern MA or from RI knows what "The Bucket" is. It's Pawtucket. It isn't a pretty town really. It is one step away from being a Central Falls. Took my bike out for near 3hrs straight, with two 5min breaks. I really thought after a decade of not owning a bike, that I would be unable to do such an extensive run. I feel pretty good though. Not much muscle tightness (see in the morning though lol) Took my ride around the McCoy stadium are. So not as bad as the CF side of The Bucket.

Will be getting a rack real soon so I can take it to much better areas of RI and MA.

I felt great actually. 12yrs without being on a 🚲 till this year and I've felt nothing but improvement already. I feel like breathing is better. I can run better. Better performance at work.

Nothing quite like pumping some O2 through the system. Welcome back.
