i'm glad to hear that everyone is doing relatively well.

speaking of NOT doing well. we took a ride last night on the new bikes. it was an interesting experience to say the least. you know, sometimes it is best to just be thrown into something that you fear. some people may say that you can get over it easier that way, when you don't have a choice.

i don't feel this way.

i especially don't feel this way when it has to do with me on a bike....and cars.

we went on an organized ride last night. i'll say, that the good points of it were that i got to see other people use hand signals (i didn't because my hands were clenched in the death grip of which i never knew existed) and i got to see how you ride in traffic. the part i didn't understand, i guess, was why you would pay money to go ride in a group? there are no perks to this group, except for the perk of....well, being in a group. but other than that, i was perplexed.

i kind of felt like i was buying friends or something weird like that.
