Two weeks ago my mom sent an email with the link for the Urban Assault Ride with a note..."looks like so much fun you should sign up" and...I did. I convinced a group of friends to sign up and spend the day riding bikes for a good cause. I borrowed a newer bike from my dad (he had more bells and whistles) and at 7 AM had a bagel and tea with my friends waiting to plot our adventure. This was going to be soooo much fun and the fact that none of us had been on a bike in years didn't matter. So we started our ride and went from one location to another location completing tasks in between like rowing a skateboard with a plunger, riding an amusement park ride, catching wet sponges with my head and even jumping into a pool with our clothes on to swim a lap. And when it was all said an done...three hours and two minutes later we all crossed the line together. We rode our bikes over 30 miles racing against people who could compete with Lance Armstrong. And today...my legs feel like somebody has driven over them with a dump truck and not to mention that other parts would have greatly benefited from padding! But it was for a great cause and a lot of fun. Even feeling a little inspired to try and bike to work a couple of times a week....maybe

Wow...impressive! I haven't been on a bike in more years then I can count. lol
That sounds like sooo much fun! I made a vow to myself to ride my bike as much as possible this summer, and it has been the best decision I've made in a long time.
Bike to work! You'll be so happy you did- it's good for the mind as well as the booty.

That sounds like it was a lot of fun. One time I took a YOGA class and afterwards thought "Wow, that did absolutely nothing for me". I woke up the next morning feeling like a truck hit me.
