Hi, Cyndy J, nice to meet you! I'm really enjoying riding, and hope that it becomes a habit, too!

I picked up Wiggy's Hornet at the LBS today. It's in pretty good shape, needs a good washing, but now that it has new tires and tubes and a clean-up of the frame and chain it's definitely rideable. I also tried out a Specialized Ariel . The weather was in between rain showers so I really only went around the parking lot a few times, but that was quite a nice ride. And I was very surprised to find that the saddle that comes with the bike -- just a little diamond-shaped Body Geometry Riva -- was so much more comfortable than the blue-and-white original on my Schwinn. Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was. Now I have less trepidation about changing out the one that I have.

And I registered for the Paint Creek Crawl today. Now I have a deadline, and a goal to train towards. Whee!
