I'm lucky enough to have three long, twisty canyons within a few minutes of my house. They're connected at the tops by dirt roads, so I can ride up one and down another. I work weekends, so it's easy for me to slip away many days for a quick couple of hours ride. The roads are not crowded on week days and I can pretty much pick my own speed/pace. I'm not a particularly fast rider, I just let the bike determine the speed it wants to go on any given day. My knee dragging days are long behind me.
I often use the rides as a reward to myself for doing chores ("bike's washed and gassed up, I deserve a ride." "I went to work yesterday, I deserve a ride")
Last week, got ticketed.
$120 USD. Seems pretty steep to me, but my wife pointed out that if amortize it over 2-3 rides per week for 2.5 years, it's a bargain. I suppose that I'm lucky it hasn't happened before now. Still, it put a bit of a damper in my week. But I do love riding this little bike and am planning going for a ride again today. After all; I got out of bed today, I deserve a ride.
Cheers everyone,
Dan
