Lisa, I always love your posts. I would love to meet you and your husband. You both seem so down to earth.
As for those guys, yeah...I run across people like at times too. I just say to myself too bad that they have to "show off" or try to impress others. It does nothing for me. It kind of reminds me when young men or older men for that matter have to squeal their tires on their cars. Boy aren't they cool

Today was probably my 4th time out for the year. My back is hurting so I just went for a shortish ride of about 16 miles. I need to get myself in shape as I have a duathlon May 9th. I signed up for the race just to give me some focus. Yikes....what did I get mysefl into

First ride of the year!
Like Lisa, we did 24 miles, which may have been a wee bit much for the first time. We did part of the route of the ride we are leading 4/18.
I am not in cycling shape, despite the running, snow shoeing, etc. Had to use the granny for little hills I don't usually have to. Going up my driveway, well, I saw 3.5 and thought I would fall over!

But it was beautiful.

I did the shop ride at bent up cycles in Van Nuys:


a soccer tournament

This guy had his other recumbent stolen. if you get a "really Good price" on a Burley Canto, you may want to talk to these guys

The shop owner in (Red Jacket) show up on a CarBent. Must.... win.... Lottery)

Almost 3 hours on the dirt today. It was so nice to be out on the trails. Unfortunately for me, I spent the entire time chasing...

Supposed to be even NICER here tomorrow. Tandem ride with a big group on tap - that way I can't get dropped .

I've been outside to ride every day since Weds this week - woohoo, and TGF DST!
