Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

thanks for the pix Mr B. I can live vicariously thru them while I heal (off the bike for maybe 8 weeks). I hope you had a GREAT time, you lucky dog!

Today I repeated the Siesta Key ride with no discomfort or pain. By far, the most consistently good bike lanes. I think tomorrow I'll rest (or maybe not...
) and then shoot for a metric on Fridaygoing east on Fruitville to Hwy 70.
I'm tellin' ya...this is the most urban riding I've done. I'm not used to so much traffic moving so fast. I now see the value of well designed bike lanes, and prolific quantities of signs pronoucing the rights of bikes.If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers

My first metric in a year!
Today, my ride was awesome! 62.15 miles at 18.7mph with no assistance from the wind! I don't know if I like these lowlands. At least with our hills in Bloomington, you get some occasional moving rest...here, you're like the energizer bunny!
The route was both very dense urban and very rural farms.
Horses and cows:
Citrus Groves:
I met a Brit at mile 27 that rode and conversed With me for 8 miles. After he split off on his route, I came upon this canopy of live oaks with wild turkeys high in the trees! What a surprise!
After only 870 miles last year, I got off to a good start on '11 with 205 miles in six rides this week! With today's pace, I'm confident that this will be a great year! After a tough year, I'M BACK!
