It's my birthday, I'll bike if I want to

[goldfinch]

Fifty seven years old today so I rode fifty seven miles.

One year ago I couldn't have gone five miles.

Best birthday present ever. :)

Congrats! Happy birthday!

Sometimes I am still a bit surprised that I lost a bunch of weight and started riding and riding some more. Where did that come from? I still think of myself as the nerdie girl picked last for teams in gym class. Or, the old lady in beige nylon clothes carrying binoculars, a field guide, and a scope and talking about alternate plumage.

HAPPY B-day...and that means "Bike" day... 57!! Awesome. So are you going to do 58 next year?? You are an inspiration!

Many happy returns of the day! :)

[goldfinch]

Yes, I highly recommend the birthday ride, if you are in a place where the weather allows. It also means the day after the birthday is a pleasant rest day. I went for a walk in the neighboring state park, saw a Green Kingfisher and a Belted Kingfisher. Came home and starting reading Sue Grafton's "V is for Vengeance."

And skipped cake.
