spring :)

Finally!  It's not completely official, but I've been able to get on the bicycle several times in the past 2 weeks and that's all I need to be certain summer is coming soon.  One of the things Troy has "introduced" me to is cycling.  He was a major cyclist in his younger years.  He went on week long bike trips, long distance day trips, and even received a couple speeding tickets (which is normally not something to brag about except for the fact that it was while on a bike).

So last summer for HIS birthday he bought ME a bike.  It was a great investment and I have enjoyed it very much.  I rode to and from work 3 days a week until the cold weather and early sunsets made that difficult.  He encouraged me and still does.  It has been a great activity for us to do as a couple and we often involve the whole family.  I look forward to the 25 mile ride we'll take in April and many more rides we will do together in the future.  It is wonderful that he knows so much and has taken the effort (and spent the money) necessary to be sure I have everything needed for my safety, comfort, and speed.

Cycling is a wonderful world that is becoming a regular part of our life.  It is stress relief, exercise, fun, accomplishment, and good times together.  I love Troy for bringing this joy into my life
