It sounds like we all had a very pleasant biking morning . I did a July 4th ride with about 1000 other people I did about 28 miles on some very steep hills. My legs were just burning with lactic acid and the sun was in my face, but before I knew it I was at the top (hey, somebody has to bring up the rear ). The ride felt like an accomplishment and they had free beer at the end and a big party in the park .
I am now home for the day and we will be bbq'ing steaks later. It is so great to be an American!!
