The evolution

Today was not as much about the ride (13 miles), as it was about the process of becoming part of the cycling community. As you know from earlier posts, we're breaking in our bike shorts. Two people honked at us today, and a lady asked for some bike advice (like we know!), and we're getting more waves from true cyclists - we call them jerseys.

The wind this weekend has been fierce - good to experience it before the ride in September. Put in 50 miles this week. Not too bad considering all the rain. We've got our eyes on 60 this week.

Duck Dales are joining the biking community in many positive ways. We like the morning air, songs of birds, friendly neighbors, and surprises on an outdoor ride. Check out a Stationary Bike Rage incident between some indoor riders, http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=3622054 who might benefit from some Duck Dales spirit!
