So I haven't riden in quite a while....
Found a "meet-up" group - Grumpy Old Cyclist over 50 and today was the first ride. Three of us, two guys and me, rode bike paths and roads for something like 40 miles. Not too fast pace, mainly flat, but there was a rather nasty hill.
I've decided that the path designers were sadistic - at the end of a run, you have to make a hard turn to down ramp for a road crossing. This wasn't once or twice, but several times.
But the company was good, I survived....
AND across the parking lot from the rendezvous place was a bike shop, where I was tempted by shiny new bikes (on sale!) for commuting.
