Hello from Amesbury!
Two weeks ago I got a bicycle after a long time without one. I'm doing some exploring now.

When you find something good in your exploring, let us know.

Decided to ride long yesterday, mostly to build stamina for a 5-day tour next month. I was pretty toasted by the end (or really at about mile 73), and was reminded that the best way to build stamina is to ride a lot!

Today's ride began at 2:10AM and was a Birthday Celebration Ride of a different sort It's was 96 years ago my mom was born so I rode the last 2 digits of the year of her Birth - 1928 plus a bit extra for a Palindrome Distance. After yesterday's 44.44 mile ride this soon to be 74yo body was only able to perform a short ride. BTW, my bike is a 1982 DAHON 20" wheel 6 speed with rear rack - basket mounted and tools + lock = 40+ pounds.

28.82 mi Distance -- 2:08:45 Moving Time -- 2:10:03 Elapsed Time -- 13.4 mi/h Avg Speed -- 22.9 mi/h Max. Speed

I was planning on leading a club ride tonight. Weather is beautiful, sunny and warm. 19 mile route from the Upstate into NC and looping back.
Problem is, the pollen count is so terribly high today I can barely breathe. I hate pollen season.

Rode to work today. 10 mile round trip. Beautiful out. Went through neighborhoods, parking lots and bike paths.

Cheers,

Scott
