Happy American Independence Day!
Of course, if you're in the USA, you simply say, "Happy Fourth!"
With that in mind, I am sharing what has to be one of the best annoncements of a 4th of July ride I've ever seen.
The ride was actually scheduled for the First, which was Saturday. There were really two rides: a "long" loop of 68 miles (a bit more than a "metric century") and a "short" one of 35 miles. Both took riders through the environs of Tryon, North Carolina.
I am going for a ride: I haven't decided to where, or how long or on which bike. With that in mind, I'll let you on another part of my journey--if you can keep a secret. (So why am I mentioning it on a blog that's had a couple million views? you ask. Fair enough.) You see, today, I'm celebrating something else: my birthday. It's not a round-number birthday, but it's significant in another way. I'll let you guess at what it is. All I'll say is that I am still in the middle of my life, i.e., in midlife, as long as I don't know when it will end.
