I took Wiggy out for his first ride this evening. I have a whole week's experience more than he does, so I let him set the distance. We did 2.42 miles round trip, and when we got home he was winded. In looking over his bike -- his newly repaired bike, mind you -- we noticed that his back wheel doesn't spin freely, but seems to drag. Back it goes to the LBS! But we did get a 2.5 mile ride in, Wiggy wants to ride some more, and this week is going to be mostly sunny and pleasant -- so we plan to be riding a lot.

Still very pleased with the new biking book, and learning a lot from it.
