Suzie did awesome yesterday. I didn't get to witness the fall because I was in back around a curve.

We biked to the end of the park so Suzie could practice going up a steep hill on a road outside the park. We got to the end, and Ellen and Suzie wanted to keep on going on the valley roads, and that is what we did. I was really impressed because on my first day I didn't go outside the park and bike those steep grades. But there went Suzie, pedaling along, with her long hair flying out behind her, and she looked like she had been on that bike for years.

In my self-defense, my body looks much larger in the photo than it actually is. Unlike Ellen and Suzie, I am wearing multiple layers of thick clothing and it all adds quite a bit of bulkiness to my body's contours.

However my bike looks awesome. It is a Trek Pilot 5.2 WSD. I enjoy riding a girlie bike.

Also, Ellen is a very strong cyclist. She hopes to bike a century this year and I am sure she can do it.
