Glad others enjoyed the picture as well.....I've made it this week's background bitmap. In the Milwaukee area there are a couple of non-racing riding groups. All have significant numbers of female riders over 50. I really think that we have it easier getting into cycling than guys of the same generation. Sure, we can be just as competitive, but we are also willing to live with ourselves and just enjoy feeling like a kid again.

But, not to start a helmet war....I always wear one and I still cringe when I see someone without one, but I have to accept the argument made by the same blogger as to why he doesn't wear a helmet and why he can accept others who do not. I don't agree, but I make an effort to see his side of the argument:
