Yesterday I went with Marcus to scout out a trailhead to the bike path that runs along C-470 so that he can start training for his ride to Kansas. The bike trails here in Colorado suck, btw. You'd think a state with such an outdoor lifestyle would make it easier for people to bike. HA!
He found a possible place to start down in Parker at the Challenger Regional Park & Recreation Center. Very nice facility. Anyway, I didn't have socks on because I had thrown them all in the wash and thought we were just going down there to find where it was. We started walking around a bit to try and find the bike path itself. We found it and started following it. Next we know, we've gone a mile. My shoes started rubbing blisters on the arches of both of my feet. Argh! I couldn't get comfortable trying to sleep last night because apparently, I rest one leg in the arch of my other foot when I sleep.
Does this end my stupidity? NO! I decide that if I wrap them up good, I can go ahead and try to bike part of it today. Well, the bandages slipped and I reaggravated both blisters. I rode about two miles before I figured I'd better turn back. Oh, well. I got some good exercise in this weekend though.
I really need a padded bike seat.
