Whew@!! Got me gasping in sympathy.

Yesterday on my trip over the overpass, a RED SPORTS CAR waited behind me 'til I was over the top (okay, it was a HOnda at least, so *all* my stereotypes haven't been busted) and then passed me demurely.

Today the Saturday Saunter went to Curtis Orchard -it opens in late July. We went 23 miles, a *little* long, but it's (ack!!!!) getting to the end of the "official" season wehre I'm responsible for a level 1 ride. (Most of the group went on to Mahomet for a 30+ mile ride with breakfast).

Next week I"m planning to ride to Bloomington - about 50 miles - for the League of Illinois Bicylist's meeting. Got the cell phone... have to figure out what else to be sure to have along for a solo ride in the boonies (water, water, water) 'cause no, I'm not taking 150 (the busy parallel-to-the-interstate road) until the halfway point.
