Cassandra, you are in New Mexico, what's this about dimming light? this is Sunday the 17th and it's 2pm here.

Today I did a Cascade bike club ride, called the Spawning cycle. There were 3 sized rides, and we did the littlest one because my sons' friend Susy has decided to get fit and get on a bike! so we all rode with her. It was not a long ride (I think it was about 14 miles) but there were some nasty hills, since it was around the Magnolia hill that we were riding. Susy walked up all the hills, but I puff puffed up all of them. Both of my sons rode fixy bikes and displayed their incredible strength by leaving me with all my 27 gears behind on every hill. My younger son (the stronger one) also passed me going downhill at 28 miles an hour (i was going 28mph, who knows what he was doing?!?!)

Susy had a good time on her old Schwinn. She was convinced it was too heavy but then i let her lift my steel Bianchi Veloce... see, your bike isn't THAT bad! (not much heavier than my modern cool bike)

Older son and I finished the ride up a hill to where I parked my car. He muscled his way to the top; i had to walk the last block... okay, i didn't HAVE to, i wanted to! and now it's starting to rain!
