So it’s official, I’m back on the bike and ready to make up for lost time!
This evening I met Greg and one of his friends for a few quick loops (about 16 miles total) in the park after work and it was wonderful.
It’s so easy to take the ability to hop on the bike and head out for a ride for granted – no longer. I was thankful for every pedal stoke I took this evening and even took a moment to photograph my favorite tree again, a little further along in its progress through spring. Just like me. 
This weekend has a LOT more riding on the agenda as well as brunches with friends and I heard tell of another possible rooftop party in the East Village? I certainly wont rule that one out!
In the meantime I have to give a shout out to my cousin Ruth whose donation got me to my goal of $300! Since there’s still over a month left before the ride I’ve decided to raise the goal to $500 and see what happens… You never know. Also – much thanks to each and every person that’s donated so far. My training and ride become so much more amazing knowing that I have support coming from all over.
Off to eat some delicious salmon and do some yoga, though probably not in that order. Have a great evening!
