This past Sunday, I purchased the bike that is going to take me across America this summer, and I couldn't be more excited. Monday I took her out for our first ride together, and everything about it just felt right. It was a short ride, but I just wanted to get used to how the bike feels and how we work together. I rode yesterday and today as well, thankful for the unusually warm weather we've been having.Unfortunately the weather is supposed to turn ugly tomorrow, which means I probably won't be going out on my bike. But that does mean more time to work on fundraising. I'll be hoping for an early spring this year, because the sooner we all can get out on our bikes the better!
