    Me too, Yessssssssss!!!

    Today I decided to go for a ride. Not a practice. Not a putt putt around the neighborhood. A ride. I jumped on my bike after work and rode up into the Tonto National Forest. Round trip was about 45 miles most of which was nice big sweepers through open valley surrounded by mountains. I now know why people (myself included) ride. It was SO AWESOME!

    I HAVE BUGS ON MY HELMET!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!

    My route: Tonto National Forest

    I remember my first solo ride, I think I did 38 miles and was STOKED! Congrats, and here's to many more adventurous and trouble-free miles.

    I'd like to get down to Tucson sometime. Do you have to go through Tucson to get to Tombstone/Bisbee?

    Cool wasn't it? Now you get it. Congrats, do it again tomorrow.

    I remember the first time I had bugs. I hope it was special for her too.....
    Stay safe, keep the shiny side up and never pass up a chance to go after that horizon.
