New bike! Such joy!

Hmmmm....way too soon for the one you and Fuji are doing 4/9. Good for you guys, though. I'm running the Shamrock Shuffle on the 2nd (not the 8th. I keep saying that! And it keeps being wrong!).

The North Shore Century is put on by the Evanston Bike Club, and they have a special place in my heart. My mom went through some major transformations about 15 years ago. She stopped smoking, sold the house in the suburbs that she'd grown up in, and started riding her old, and I mean old three speed bike. She joined the EBC to have people to learn from and ride with. My bro, sis, and I got her a new bike for Christmas that year, and she was off. Mom doesn't ride as much lately (she's 70. I still say she's being a slacker. ), but she usually provides support for that ride. It would be a big thrill for her if I did it. I think I will! We can do it together! Maybe Fuji, too, and anybody else from TE who's "in the neighborhood". Great plan.
