There is nothing like cycling in the country on a bright sunny day. It gives me such freedom. Tomorrow marks my 7th consecutive distance ride with New York City Cycling. The map says 77.5 miles. Now that may sound like a lot of miles but when you are riding pace-line, there is a group energy and dynamic that somehow makes those 70+ miles fly by. The last 15 miles are tough but getting to the end is most rewarding and exhilarating. Last Saturday was winter again, if you remember. I toughed it out and rode 58 miles. The sun came out around mile 35. The forecast says rain for tomorrow but maybe “they” will be wrong. Keep your fingers crossed for me. After instructing 30 Pilates classes this week, be it a little chillier than desired, I am really looking forward to tomorrow’s ride. We head to the “Orchards” on South Mountain Road, apparently, a famous ride. I know nothing about it. I will fill you in on the next cycling blog. Are YOU interested in riding, either casually or seriously? If so, let me know and I will help you get started. There are no limits. ~Gail
