I turned 55 Sunday and did a 61-mile ride to celebrate.

This is the first year I've actually ridden my "birthday ride" on my actual birthday -- usually I'm off by a week or so. In any case, it was the hottest day of the year here, which still isn't that hot (87 degrees or so). And when I mentioned my "birthday ride" at an espresso stand they gave me a free iced latte. Woo hoo!
