Finally rode from the country into town with my DH, about 8 miles one way. Rode it once during the supported Wildflower ride but that was at the end of the ride. Wanted to see what it is like riding the 8 miles into town to do my shopping and errands. I'm here on the weekends and either don't go into town or rarely use my car.
Anyway, the ride was quite pleasant and safe. Much safer, it seems, than riding in traffic in San Antonio. Once my Big Dummy is ready I will leave it in San Antonio for errands there and leave my Volpe in the country to ride longer, peaceful country rides. Plus I'll have my panniers to make the occasional errand run into town.
Today, Sunday, we are getting more much-needed rain so probably no riding today. But Monday . . . looking to my hilly loop that's just outside my door.

Saturday's ride was a delightful 66 miles in northeast North Carolina in the Tarwheel Century ride. The weather was fantastic, and the SAG stops were delicious. One SAG stop even has smoothies!
I did the ride on my newest bike, Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro. I'm very pleased with my little bike--how it performs, how it fits, and how fast it is!
It's all packed up now in it's suitcase for Sunday's trip to France. I'll be riding my Jamis Coda for the rest of the week around town doing errands.
