Charity Rides My Bike Shop

Road biking is one of the activities I most enjoy. There is nothing quite like the feel of

riding down the road, a slight tailwind, big ring, just being in the zone. Or finishing that 1st century ride of the year or just riding with friends to a coffee shop or ice cream store. The link below will take you to a schedule of club rides and events throughout 2009 in Illinois. See you on the road! BTW, I do always wear a helmet – I have cracked 2 in the last 8 years on endo’s – it happens to everyone eventually. My brain is scrambled enough.

I am looking forward to the 2009 riding season as I missed most of last year having the ankle parts replaced – again. (wonders if he should post that pic).

This picture was taken 7/1/08 at the top of Independance Pass, CO during Ride The Rockies, a week long , 440 mile event my son, Eric, and I did together – by together I mean we started together and then met at the end of the day for dinner. Everyone riding to their own ability makes for a much more enjoyable ride. We crossed the Continental Divide twice. I also learned what was the slowest speed I could go and still stay upright. (any guesses – reply below)
