 Finishing and decorating an apartment starts to take a toll on a person. I needed to get on the bike again.
This Saturday the weather was nice. Not sunny. Slightly cool. No rain.

I woke up, looked out the window, and saw blue skies crowning the dawn of a new day.
It is a good day to ride.

 Last year, I sold my mountain bike and bought a road bike. Why? 95% of the roads around here are paved. I have very few trails to justify owning a mountain bike.
However, occasionally the local bike club (every member of which rides a knobby tire mountain bike) goes crazy and finds a dirt road. And
