Back In The Saddle-Snow Lightly Falling

If the predicted flurries had started before I left the house at 5:45 I'm not sure I would have ridden. But I did and it was wonderful. A balmy 33 degrees, I was probably a tad over-dressed. But I rode hard and fast and really enjoyed the ride, especially doing most of the return trip with a gentle snow flurry falling. I wish I'd taken my camera with me, though I'm not sure what would have shown up in the darkness. Another 12.4 miles was definitely restorative.

Ira F. Stone said...: I would love to, Michelle, but I'm still learning about pro cycling. I've been reading the various magazines and trying to get a handle on how the sport works, what the different races and tours are and who the various players are. Any assistance in this regard would be welcome.

What"s A Ludwig?

In the news section of one of his early Fredcasts David told the story of one Ludwig from Znnin Poland who at 84 years of age went out for a ride on his bike. To make a longer story short (and you really should listen to the podcast to get all the details) Ludwig ended up in London, England! So I figure if (again, according to the explanation on The Fredcast #1) a Fred is someone who not only rides a bike but is severely attracted to the gadgets and accessories of a certain bike-cultural look (and I guess I'm a Fred without the financial resources to really express my Fredness) then a Ludwig could be anyone over the age of 55 who is not only a Fred, but also loves to just keep riding eating up the miles pretty much unconcerned with speed. Go Ludwig! I'm a Ludwig. Maybe someday I'll figure out podcasting and do a Ludwigcast.
