Malletpois! Oh how cool, you "met" Raleighdon, (but i've still never met you!) congrats on your super achiever child!!
Raleighdon was definitely rocket powered. And today he rode about 50 miles and then he got tired and stopped.

Whew! Glad everybody is safe!
Here's my "brag." Five years ago, DH was diagnosed with colon cancer & given a very bad prognosis. Yesterday he rode the 35 mile. I caught up with him and we road in & crossed the finish line together. It was awesome.
We went through a year of complete hell with surgery, MRSA, blood clots, a week in ICU, infections of unknown origins, pic lines, wound vac machines that didn't work, vancomycin drips (2X day for 2 hours each) chemo and eventual repair of hernia (caused by getting violently ill from chemo). Today, he's doing great! (I'm a little nervous about the 5 year checkup, but I'm always nervous before those...)To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

OK, now I know where you're talking about. Freeman is a pretty rough road. It was really bad before the potholes got filled. Any bike less than 52cm could be swallowed up & never seen again!

Yes, I'm quite proud of DH. He rides a Trek hybrid, wears old t-shirts & regular shorts (yes, I bought him PI's, he would rather wear yellow t-shirts from Target) and carries a big pack on his bike rack. But, he's out on his bike at 12mph & that's all that counts!To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.
