Congratulations to Kelly for riding 25 miles on Sunday in the First Annual Wooly Bike Rally in Branch County, Michigan! Her cycling raised dough for the local bike association and gave her such rewarding exercise that I think she’ll be looking for more this summer – ride on, velo queen!
Meanwhile, I hang my head for shame and confess that I missed the 4th Annual Los Angeles River Ride that very day. Not even the ‘whoops, I totally forgot’ kind of missed, but the guilty ‘I’m too lazy and cheap to go and register for it this year’ kind. And an exquisite opportunity for cross-continental bicycle bonding with my bud went to waste.
Kelly, may you inspire me to dust off my pretty Specialized soon and end my long, sad no-cycling streak. Either that, or I’ll continue to find ways to be an armchair cyclist, living vicariously through others (or maybe revisiting le fabuleux Triplettes de Belleville.)
