Rides for the Last Day of 2007... Dec 31

[Geonz]

Yea, I keep thinking "it's a lot harder to ride in Arlington than Illinois! What's she doin' getting all those miles!" (I grew up in Greenbelt)

Glad you slid reasonably safely - WHEW! The ol' "watch for overpasses and bridges" deal. Keep the rubber side down!

No wipeouts here... well below freezing but just frost to crunch on. 35.8 miles and I think I'm done for the year

That was my final Mrs. Magoo move of 2007. An apt end to a not-so-great year.

Knee is bruised and sore, but functioning normally. I've been icing it and putting arnica gel on it.

The bike is home, fixed, and ready to go for tomorrow morning's ride. Thinking positive--no ice, no rain, not too cold!

Thanks to all for the good wishes. I really was lucky in all regards. That was my first bicycle wipe out since childhood.
