    Way to go Emily! You certainly had some demons to overcome.

    I hope you can find more enjoyment in the future, riding your rode bike again.

    Congratulations!

    Emily-

    I'm a little late, but wanted to add my congratulations! It's so wonderful that you're back out there riding (on the roads and mountain too!). I usually really enjoy biking to the Durham market (haven't had a chance to for a few weeks now, though - BikeFest, Beach Trip, etc).

    As GoWest said, we really should try to do a NC TE ride. Even if it's short - I'm sure we could fine some comfortable roads for it. Plus, we need to do a Bike Friday ride in late September. The promise dates for our Crusoe's are the 18th and the 22nd (I think that doesn't include ship time, so I expect them to be a few days later than that). I can't wait!! Did you guys get the suitcases for them?

    Glad you are back on the road!

    Yes, we did. They are great. We've only used them once so far, but I'm glad we have them - never know what adventures we might have in the future!

    I'd love a TeamE local ride. And yes, a Bike Friday local ride. We're game!
