GOT THE BIKE BACK
I took the bike in for a tune-up the other day and got it back on Friday. So on Saturday I took it out for a quick spin. Well it was supposed to be quick. The bike performed fantastically. I didn't do to bad either. I had planned on a quick, flat, 25-35 miles just to get used to being on the road again. Well I extended it out to 40 miles and threw in a few small hills. Felt great. I wasn't even tired. I easily had another 15-20 miles in my legs. Even the hills that I rode were pretty easy. Not fast but not stressful either. The goal was to stay in the seat for all the climbs and that was accomplished. I think I will stick to the same basic route I took for the next few weeks until I actually get my "road" legs under me. I will gradually add another 20 miles to these rides over the next month or so. I plan on keeping the route in a mostly north -south direction. In Vegas if you go east to west you are setting yourself up for some pretty good climbs and I am not ready for that quite yet. The good things were that I felt great, my gym workouts have apparently been worth the effort, and I had a jersey that fit.I spend about 2 hours in the gym on most days and I can honestly say that those workouts are by far more strenuous than this 40 mile ride. There's no coasting on the stairmaster.

MY TAKE
I just saw the new diet plate put forth by the government so I decided to create my take on the plate. You tell me which would be more fun
