So, go have your fun. Yeah, I'll just go to the gym and ride on one of those stupid stationary bikes. I bet that's how ex rodeo riders feel about those electric horsies kids play on in front of grocery stores. Not real, but will have to do.
Actually the river route looks like a treat. And it's great your wife joins you!
Oh man! I HATE the stationary bikes at the gym....they just tear up my knees. I should hit some spinning classes. At least the spinners are more bike-like and adjustable. I just have to get over my self consciousness and get in there.
It's hard to get Sue out on the road, but once she's there she has a good time. She's afraid to go faster than 10mph, though. (sigh) It's kind of funny because I take these times to practice getting my cadence up and spinning. (picture of a very large guy, legs windmilling madly, and going 9-10 mph.) (heh)
