Things I have seen on my ride to and from:
- the two foxes that live in the area behind our subdivision on several occasions.
- 5-6 deer who share that space.
- woodpeckers
- a sight impaired person jogging with a white cane.
- a squirrel that I almost...almost...ran over. (I had to brake aggressively for this guy!)
- the snake I did run over. Not to worry, it was a little garter snake, and I don't think I hurt it.
- baby geese just today!
- others bikers who don't wait for stoplights to turn, don't wear helmets, and go much faster than me.
- a few bikers who don't go faster than me, but not very many.
- a man on a scooter carrying his dog (retriever-size...not smallish!) across his lap, as he drove. Really!
- many blooming things.
To name a few that I can remember. My goal is to reach 1000 miles this year. I think with any luck, I shall be able to ride through September. Not bad for a woman of a certain age. I got to say, though...one would think the pounds would be flying off!
In other news, I broke a knitting needle today. I cannot remember when I have done that.

I wish I could ride to work--it is only 4 miles, but I would be too stinky when I got there and there are only basic facilities for cleaning up. Not to mention the heavy traffic and hills between here and there. Good for you though and try on some old clothes...you will be surprised how much better they fit, even if you are the same weight.
I live about 5 blocks from work and I drive my car! My son is a member of the Greensburg Green Club so I'm gonna have to start walking or riding my bike. What about this getting older thing anyway? No one has told me I'm skinny now for the last several years-- plus people get my sister and I mixed up now and we used to never look anything alike! Tish
