Dear Cyclists,

I had such an adventure the other evening! My roommate and I biked to my sister's house for some quiche. I have lived with my roommate for 3.5 years and in all this time I have never seen her bike. It was a glorious evening with the stars shining bright and the freshness of spring approaching. There was little old me giggling the whole way to my sister's house because I found such joy and excitement watching my roommate ride her newly acquired bike from the white elephant sale.

On the way home, however, I felt a bit frustrated because somehow my friends were cruising far in front of me and I was biking as fast as I could. You would think that I would be the one far ahead seeing as though my car is out of commission and I bike almost everyday. I just don't get it.

Anyways, regardless of my slow-poke-sallyness I find biking to be quite fun. I put in some effort to get to my destination. The sun shines on my face and I am outside. Plus, I am getting my daily exercise. You also somehow bond with the other cyclists even though there is no exchange of names or even a hello.

I hope you take your bike for a spin if you have one! I bet you'll gain a new perspective and a sense of adventure.

Enjoy the ride,
My-Linh

P.S. I am suppose to bike around with my dad and friends during marathon Sunday and I am a bit nervous that I won't be able to keep up.
