Luke Rides in July...

There are a group of boys that ride their bikes all over the France countryside in July. There is one boy that rides his bike on Lakeside Drive. This July was extra special for me. My son Luke learned to ride his bike without training wheels. It was a grand occasion. I was so proud! I hope he learns to love the bike like I do. I would love to have a little riding partner! Look at that race face!

New Bike--WooHoo!!!

Every once in awhile, we must treat ourselves. The big treat for me was a 2008 Trek Madone 5.5. It was hard handing over that credit card but again we must treat ourselves. And doesn't all this riding save me from doctors' bills. I got the bike last year around my birthday. I have been riding it ever since. Like all new bikes I have had to make a few adjustments, but lately it has been riding really well. As I say in my profile, I am a serious recreational road cyclist. But that doesn't mean I'm good. So I am learning to ride it as well.
