Gearing Up For Freedom Valley Ride

Another good bicycling weekend looms ahead, with good reports vis-a-vis weather. This Sunday Annie and I will do the Freedom Valley Ride of the Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia. I'm not sure which of the rides we'll do yet. Maybe just the 22 mile to see how we like it. Or the 32 mile "vigorous" ride, whatever that means. But it sounds like it will be fun.

Also considering the French Creek Iron Tour the following week, but haven't decided yet.

This morning I rode solo. Just a regular 13.5 mile loop and no more biking today as my schedule does not allow it.

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.
