Brand New Blacktop
I didn’t manage to get much done off of today’s “To Do” list. Instead, I played hooky and took my bike out for a ride. Until the moment I left, I wasn’t even sure I would get out the door, … Continue reading

The Difference a Week Makes
In stark contrast to last week’s chilly ride, by the time I got to the meeting place at 8:20, I and the rest of the Eagles were sweating. None of the potential C riders I knew were there, so I … Continue reading
