Three rides in, the bike is riding well - I'm outta shape as hell but working on it. Every trip has been at least 5 miles on the Roanoke River Greenway. The side that heads towards Grandin is closed because the river flooded after those two days of constant rain. Lots of wildlife out: geese, ducks, and rednecks. The most unexpected (the geese and ducks) were nice to see. Randy Newman has a song about rednecks - see here:
Anyways...the days in between rides have been nice too. Lots of good food, good drinks, and good people.

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle. ~Ernest Hemingway
