Thanks for your good wishes, folks! I am in Garner, NC, about a mile north of the Johnston County line off Hwy 50.
I rode with a group called Slow Spokes today. What a great bunch! We have a Wendell ride next Saturday if you want to join us from Durham.

way to go!
..::whistles and applause::..
I LOVE reading stuff like this. It gives me encouragement for my own bicycling adventures and shows me how far I've come myself.
Congratulations. If you and I were in the same town I would TOTALLY set up some rides for you to come along on.
Happy riding!

Congrats, Sal. It sounds like you had a very good 'first ride'. Glad someone has decent weather to ride....

I fell (again
) exactly the same way this weekend...unhooked right foot, leaned to the left...only I use power grips, AND I fell in front of a LOT of people!!
Some of the people who saw were young boys with their skateboards...they were incredibly sweet......said, "I fell off my mom's bike the same way..." Didn;t even laugh...!!
I got up and rode another 10 miles...upshot? Falling is OK...riding is too fun to let it stop you!!
Glad you're back on the saddle!Discipline is remembering what you want.

Yes, indeed, it has begun! I am already signed up to do another ride on Saturday. AND my budding addiction has created a plethora of Christmas present ideas...I'd like one of those cool little rear view mirrors, and a small pack for the front of my bike, and some long tights for colder rides, and...you get the idea!
