I've noticed my average commute times getting shorter. I think I might be getting faster...

This week I rode 4 out of 7 days, for a total of about 107 miles. I was fighting a bit of sickness, at that! What can I say, I try to rest, but sometimes, if I'm up to it, I end up feeling better after riding!

Today, I passed a long line of cars backed up because of a squeeze: a lane blocked off by a police car. I didn't slow down to observe (unlike most car-drivers) and made great time!

My 7 year-old daughter is loving her old-new Mongoose (pre-Wal-Mart-days)--$25 at a Goodwill thrift shop. She learned hand-brakes and shifting (7 speeds) in a snap!

Danged if I won't be riding with her in the near future!
