Cool, Shannon! Which bike did you ride? It's wonderful how there is always something new to do.

linzq, are you on your roadbike now?

I had a small but hugely satisfying "first" this afternoon. DH needed a prescription picking up in town, and I nipped into town onto my Marin to collect it, wearing a DRESS A proper normal, knee-length polka dot teadress. Having the wind in my hair is one thing, but having a dress flutter around my legs in a summer breeze is just the bees knees (so to speak). I got given plenty of space on the busy stretch of road too.
