I was going to ride my bike to my mammogram today, but found some thing wrong with it(the bike I was going to use). Turn is was the right thing to do as I forgot the Dr's order. so I zigged and went down to the airport(on my other bike):

Just did a "quick" around town 21 mile ride today. DH and I rode to the lbs, picked up some supplies for me (spare tube, etc) and then rode to have lunch at Panera, then home. An awesome way to spend a morning!

I got up really early today and did a 24 mile nice ride through the countryside.
Then I went home, showered, and rode back into town to meet up with fellow TE-er Crankin from Mass., her husband and two other biking friends. They rode from Great Barrington and back today (50 miles round trip) to come have lunch with me in our little town!
We 5 had a fun time for lunch. Pictures will be coordinated after this weekend.

I took the afternoon off from work (everybody else in my group was off doing a golf scramble/beer fest kinda thing - not for me, so I took vacation time) to do a nice 33 miler on my new road bike. It was great! Glad I didn't cave to all the intense pressure to golf (which I would be horrid at - I can't play putt-putt without ending up feeling bad about myself -or volleyball, basketball, tennis, softball, ......).
The coolest part of my ride was a couple of miles from the end - a smallish bear loped across the highway about 100 feet ahead of me. Just as I'm checking for traffic, which was heavier than usual today, I see a cub come out of the bushes, about 4 feet behind her. I started braking, not wanting mom to get mad at me, but she never saw me - was just heading for the other side of the road. After the cub came out, another little guy appeared behind him. I was so afraid a car would hit them! But at that time there weren't any around (probably why mom picked that moment to scurry), and they all crossed safely. It was my best wildlife experience all year! Ever seen a black bear cub? What cuties!
I haven't ever seen one that young up close (okay, I wasn't that close) - mostly half-grown ones. I'm so glad I took the afternoon off, and picked that route!
