You're right, Cathy, April is not quite summer. I am doing a fun ride in April, too. Cycle Zydeco, in Lafayette, LA.

Haven't done it before but have heard good things. And it will be warm there! I can't wait. I don't think it will be a training-type ride at all, but that can wait till after the ride. Then I'll get more serious.
I'm riding to to the start of RAGBRAI and then doing a couple days of RAGBRAI. Never ridden to the start before. I will be hauling my own gear. Never did that before either. Should be interesting. I am borrowing a BOB trailer.
Doing a womens' team trial race at the end of July with my cousin. We did it last year and have the record. So we have to defend that.

Doing a MTB race in September, the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival. It is in northern Wisconsin. There's a pretty big turnout.

I'll probably do some other local races, too. I am really looking forward to a good summer! No more crashes! (I keep repeating and repeating that!)
Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived." Captain Jean Luc Picard
