I got in 13.5 miles on my favorite trail today; I'd ridden it yesterday, starting in the middle to see whether the snow that had blocked me last weekend was gone. It was! So today I rode from one end to the other, around the lake a couple of times, along another short trail, not quickly, spinning more than pushing, and had a grand grand time! Lots of people on the trail, especially at the lake, walking dogs, children, grandparents in wheelchairs, people on scooters and skates and skateboards and even bicycles.

AND!!! AND!!! I passed TWO PEOPLE, and neither one of them had training wheels on his/her bike!!!!
