April Rides

[rebeccaC]

azfiddle is still climbing, khg is still challengeing herself and more people are getting miles in ....sounds good to me!!!

Then yesterday, my husband and I rode the Oregon Randonneurs Birkie 200k.

looked at a map of that route..that looks like a good ride!! i went south last weekend to just past independence or. on the willamette valley bikeway with friends from portland...keep riding like you are and you'll end up having to wait for your husband on your rides

rode to the farmers market first thing this morning and then rode into downtown LA’s industrial area to do some photography. beautiful day weather wise….low 70’s and no wind. 52 miles with no climbing so just a relaxing day of riding and creativity. on my way home i met a young latina girl when i stopped at a small corner market for some water. she wanted to know all about my bike and what color the celeste was so we talked about bicycling for a few minutes. she gave me a smile as i left that stayed with me the rest of the day. i talked to her mother for a few minutes, it’s just her and Gabriela and she rides to work each day on an old mountain bike. I got their address and told the mother i'm going to buy a bike and give it and a helmet to Gabriela next weekend when i’m home again. they live just two blocks from one of the bike paths i use to get downtown so that makes for a safe place for them to ride together....now thinking that was a good way of finishing a good days ride


now some here may not like two way bike lanes or any bicycle infrastructure but it sure makes for a safe and relaxing way for me to get downtown
