    We had 47 riders this year. A lot of the triathletes in our area were friends with a man who was killed cycling to the Horrible Hundred this year so the ride was in his honor. It was overall a good week for cyclists in our rural, central Florida area. The county commission declared May bike month and formally recognized May 20 as Ride Your Bike to Work Day. After the presentation, two different county administrators approached the Bike Club and asked us to collaborate in their Wellness Program for county employees and for the citizens of the county.

    This was the first year I participated. I rode with both of my kids on the "train." A friend met us there with her son in the trailer too. There was a large group with a police escort.

    I had a long talk with DD on the way there about what the ride was for, bike safety, and how there is NO talking on the ride. She did awesome, ufortunately I got in trouble for talking!

    I'm glad we went. A police officer gave a speech about bike safety and sharing the road. It made quite an impression on DD.
