Bike Cred

Today was a perfect weather day. PERFECT. Naturally it was a day to get Lily out on the streets and today we decided to find the Fern Ridge Bike Path. Just a hop from my house, we jumped on and took it all the way to the end. My legs feel the burn from this nearly 14 mile round trip ride but it was so worth it and made me feel like I really do ride a bike now. Well, that and the fact I had to roll up my right pant leg from getting it all greased up in my bike chain. I officially have some bike cred!

I'm still getting used to the etiquette of being on a bike path. It's the letting go of feeling like a jerk when I'm about to pass someone and saying "Left!" I blame the movie Spanglish for giving me a complex about doing that. But, everyone does it and they don't sound like jerks and even if I did sound like one, I guess it's better than running over the cute little old lady in pink sweats and a sun visor on. Wink

Hi Wozzie!

I've been thinking about you and thought I would pop in an say hello. WOW! Fourteen miles - I'm am definitely impressed. It sounds like you are really emerging yourself in your new environment and it sounds like a lot of fun. If you take pix on any of your trips, don't forget to post them. I would love to see a little bit of Euguene, OR. I'm also glad you like my new sparkeling glittered blog header. Happy Thursday and have a good Friday and a great weekend.

Hugs,   Julie
