Back in the Saddle

I had been off the bike for ten days prior to yesterday's ride, unless you count the little trip Ashly and I took in Paris. We rented the fine machines you see to the left for a couple of hours and toured around a large park on the edge of town. To say these bikes were dilapidated is probably understating the issue.

Yesterday's ride was a real joy as I got to get back on the Seven. It's amazing how good that bike is. I guess I owe that rental machine a thank you for reminding me.

It was great to see you guys and ride with you again. I think Eddie and I both enjoy the same thing about the 'B' rides: Watching guys bolt off the front down a hill then blasting past them up the next one. I can't speak for Eddie, but I always make sure that I'm in the saddle and try to look especially unstressed as I go by.

Was your bike the one with the bell or basket? Yes the ride last night was fun but dangerous.
