Sunday ride

Today was a beautiful day here in Texas for a bike ride.  This kind of weather doesn't come around very often either!  One of my riding buddies and I were able to ride 10 miles...the most I've rode since getting my new bike on my birthday!  David has been after me to start my blog but I have been too busy to "just do it"!  One of my goals before I turn 50 is to ride in the MS150 from Houston to Austin.  So, for my birthday the boys all surprised me with a beautiful baby blue Scott!  To top it off we had the handle bars taped in bright pink so now it looks like me.  I have asked a couple of friends of mine to join me in this adventure and so far they have been pretty supportive.  David of course in my biggest supporter by helping me get out there and get used to riding on the streets.  Gee whiz....why do the cars have to get sooo close to you when you're riding?  I have a new appreciation for cyclist.  After signing up for the MS150 I found out its actually 183 miles!  Why do they call it the MS150 then?
