we got our grey wet cold back but it didn't keep me from heading out first thing to meet a friend at a bike store to help her buy a bike! 1/2 mile from light rail, I noticed i had a rear flat tire. I took the light rail to downtown then pushed the bike 1 mile up the hill got there just as the LBS (Velo Bike) had opened. They fixed my tire for me so we were able to test ride bikes (She bought a used Raleigh hybrid) then I got home before the rain, an easy 10 miles.

Yesterday (Friday) I had an awesome 23 mile country road ride - and even got sunburn! I am NOT complaining about that! Nary a dog in sight, and the only reason I didn't get my desired 30 miles in was because I ran out of time.

Today I loaded up the Jamis and headed to Brown County State Park and rode a short fire road with a couple of friends - they are avid mountain bikers and were kind enough to do this with me - then they went to have fun on the groomed mountain bike trails while I hiked one of the beginning trails to scope it out. It may not have been a long ride, but it was a lot of fun!

I wasn't as outgoing as the rest of you, but I rode a leisurely 9 miles today to the public library and back.

Yesterday I rode about 12 miles or so.

I drove to the meeting spot and discovered I had forgotten my shoes. So I went home, parked the car and rode 49 miles solo. Overall a good ride but started experiencing a problem with my knee each time I got back on to the bike after a rest stop, and it went away the first 2 times, but not the 3rd time. I'm icing it now....

I had a great 14 mile ride on Friday after work. I specifically wanted to work on hills and exploring the low range of gears. It was a great ride and productive too. I had a volunteer effort going on today and didn't get to ride but plan on a long (for me) ride tomorrow.

Did the Cascade training ride, the Bellevue Cumberland loop; 75 miles of hills out in the lovely countryside. I was toast by the end. We stopped by bakery in Black Diamond around the midpoint. Three of us stayed outside with all the bikes, and a guy in a truck passed by, taking in the sight of all the parked bikes, said, "**** you!". Just like that out of the blue. for no good reason.

An unexpectedly beautiful day! I rode with many friends including Indysteel and Mr. Indysteel. I've not tallied the totals, but it seems that we netted about $50,000 for disabled veterans!

50 lush hilly miles for me with some screaming downhills!
