George,
I'd just tell'um that that's just to stinkin bad.
There is a special joy to riding a bike that is
Probably only exceded by the experience of flight. I
Think there are some on this venue that need to be
Reminded of why we ride bikes. Thanx for posting.

George,

Bicycles are magical, and your joy-writing about the joy-riding serves a
Reminding of why we ride/race in the first place! Racing is a
Celebration which involves many special precisions, but the riding
Itself is at the base.

When not concerned with airplanes, OBRA Chatters are primarily talking
About racing; I suggest you might find a local club to give some help to
At a race they promote...volunteering will give you a connection into
Racing's' echelon...and some fun "chat!" Racing can't happen without
Organization at many levels...heroes not only cross the finish line, but
Also tape/paint/scratch the danged line onto the road so the race can
Even happen!

Time to Ride,

David

I just though that I'd let you know that yesterday, I covered about 20
miles! I got my tricycle registered at the Longview Poi lice Department and
then I went to a V.F.W. Post meeting in Kelso!

Understand that my tricycle is an extremely heavy duty tricycle! It's like
comparing a Mazda Pick up and and A Mack Truck!

Enjoy your rides. 10 miles. 20 miles. Whatever. We relish our suffering on the bike and we puff ourselves up at races. But you, sir, have endured more than most of us ever will. You, sir, are a hero on this site.

Get on our wheel - stay there, however vicariously and for however long you want. You've already taken a turn at the front.

I agree. If you are on this list then use it. Your twenty miles is more
than some on the list put in today and those that are "far above you" (in
their egos only)... let them be water off your back. Keep riding Jay. Your
genuine joy of riding is something you do not want to lose by getting bogged
down with trivial carbon fiber envy! Steel is real neat stuff.

Some of your membership told me; rather politely; that this might not be
the best venue for me ...... A novice bike rider! I hadn't been on a bike
since the early days of the Johnson Administration!

But , I'm inspired by all of you, I admit that since having two Mini
Strokes and a 3 way bipass. I'm not a good candidate for bicycle racing but
I can enjoy what I see!

Today I did 20 miles on a commercial 3 wheeler!
