she's walking ok (Has it wrapped with ace bandage, no cast) but it's still tender....she's mostly afraid of whacking it on the crank at this point...

All casual, at one point the average touches 16mph for about a mile, rest is usually below 12.

I am thinking the turnout might be as good as last month, being the weather is what it is.

It's so casual I could keep up w/ the ride on a recalcitrant donkey.

I'm posting this here even though it's not about the rides because you're the guys I see sometimes.

Does anyone have a messenger bag I can borrow for a week? I'm writing a character who uses one, so I want to spend a few days seeing what it's like, but I don't want to spend money on something I'm not going to keep.

Any of you guys out riding today? I have to decide within half an hour whether to try riding up the greenway or take the subway...

I rode early this morning, and after having coming back from outside I'll just say be really careful out there. I don't know how regularly they clean the greenway so it might have a nice layer of snow by now.

Just got the official word, the ride tomorrow is postponed till next Sunday, the 28th. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I can make it...actually 99% sure I can't
