A Sunday Afternoon Ride

We returned from our retreat at about 1 PM today and I headed out to the trail at 3:15. Despite having to dodge the Sunday walkers/riders/skateboarders etc. I had a very good ride. It is always especially pleasant when the West River Drive is closed to traffic. Met a few folks out on the ride. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon for a ride.

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.
