| I love the cycling jersey Neall gave me last summer. It fits perfectly and I totally use those back pockets! Notice the stain on my shoulder, I am a gigantic spitter and nose blower when riding. It's actually kinda dangerous to be near me on a bike, just ask Neall and Martin....I do try and look over my shoulder before getting rid of either one..lol! |

| Pre-ride, Kyle cracks me up holding his bike over his head! Chuck, Kara, Becca, Neall, Kyle, Stan, Jackie, Cecilia, Martin, Bob, Polly and me... |

| This is Bob Hardin's Trek...nice Bob! And impressive climb on the Cherry Valley Hill on the last 6 mile leg back....nice! He also said he loves these pants...I may need to get a pair. |

| Stan also reported the seat on this Carbon Madone was excellent... |

What a beautiful day for a bike ride! Thanks Kara for hosting today. We did the Vanndale Loop with an added stretch of Milliondollar road which added 6 miles to the trip. On my speedometer, we cycled 24 miles in 1:43. There was a 10 mph north wind that made the ride challenging and fun (if fellow cyclists want to say it was more than 10, please tell me, I am estimating the stinking wind). I love to work hard on the bike. We took breaks at Vanndale, Milliondollar road and Cross County Bank in Cherry Valley. I so, so enjoyed visiting with Cecilia and Becca and Neall on the ride. Chuck gave me good advice for worldwide travel. I didn't take Kyle's advice and do more rpm's while chatting with Becca and Neall about local news and events. I kept it in the hard gear to stay back and chat, I wanted to work hard and it was worth it. Becca and Neall are just precious, I just love them!
I am so sad I missed the post ride social time, Jackie reported beer and Boar's Head sandwiches, dang it, I hate I missed it. But, I kept my day in check and picked up some of Chloe's friends for Biscuit's birthday party. I don't like to brag, but it was a good party for the little fella. Everyone had a great time.
This weather is giving me spring fever! I want to ride this Saturday too. I work till noon, who wants to host???
What a gorgeous day for a ride. I also enjoyed the Million Dollar Rd addition. It was nice,no cars and paved all the way. I am getting Spring Fever and am ready for another ride next weekend - who is hosting?
