Tips for a 28 mile bike ride

1. Know exactly how far you are going. If you think it's about 20 miles, drive it first. If you wait to drive it after, you'll find that it's actually 28

2. Be super positive when you start out! This is exciting!



3. Wear Sunscreen!!! Don't let your foolish pride get in the way... even if you "never burn," 28 miles on a bike will teach you otherwise!


4. Bring more than one water bottle. Otherwise, you might have to stop at a Walgreens in Queen Creek to grab some more!

5. Check to make sure that your route has legit bike lanes. In Queen Creek, they might say that they have bike lanes, but that really just means a dirt path with dirt so thick you have to get off and push your bike!

6. Don't wait until 11 to leave... it will take MUCH longer than planned and you will have 10 minutes to shower and change before you have to teach a piano lesson!

7. Go with a friend! Jessica made it so much fun!

8. The wind will always change directions... expect a constant head wind!

9. Look THIS amazing when you finish!



10. Brag about it on your blog when you're done... then ask for forgiveness for your pride! :)
