Country Roads

    One thing I like about where I live is..When I leave my house for a bike ride..and I'm undecided about what I should do...I get on my bike start pedaling...let the wheels start rolling...I look at my watch..look at the horizon to see where the sun is.. make a left then a right or make right then a left..BINGO..I have a ride..I can change it on a whim..I can also change the diffaculty..Hills or a nice flat couse..On Sundays I like doing a longer course..When I leave my house I can do 25mi. to a 100mi. depending on time.. lately I been riding with a couple of friends meeting at their house one week.. then meeting at a bike shop on the other Sundays for a nice thigh busting fast pace group ride.. so many options.. Never boring..you add a mp3 player with all your favorite music for those high tempo rides..sometimes adds a little kick and energy to the ride....I live in Wesley Chapel, NC..Just south of Charlotte, NC....Be Safe...

New Month-New Roads-New Adventure

Here's to a beginning of a new month..Like every month we start at zero..  I ended August with 254 miles.. not bad.. But with the fall season fast approaching.. going on new roads thats always exciting.. Just going down the same roads.. looks new with the changing of the leaves.. cooler tempertures after a hot summer thats going to feel good.. I'm less than 30 miles to 3,000 miles.. for the next few months I'm hoping to ride about 200 miles a month.. with one or two more centurys.. hopefully some good fall rides.. cause as it gets cold it gets harder to get on the bike.. be safe...
