A few months ago I attended a meeting of a women's organization that I belong to through work. One of the guest speakers was a LBS owner and former Olympian. His overall pure joy talking about anything bike related made me remember all the great times I had twenty years ago when I biked almost everyday. Once I got geeked up about biking again I just had to find the perfect new bike.

Of course I ended up buying a better bike and lots more accessories than I ever anticipated but have no regrets.

I can't believe how much I enjoy being out on the road again. I commuted to work again today for the 3rd time in the past two weeks....30 miles round trip. I hope to get up to 3 commutes per week. I especially love the morning ride, lots of happy cyclists and joggers.
