First and foremost, check out my Flickr photostream I just created. So far it just has a couple photos of my bike, but I'll continue to update it this summer.

Yesterday it was very windy so we scrapped the Kensington to Fenton ride because it's pretty open and decided to ride from Walled Lake to Milford and back. However when we met in Walled Lake, Bill was nowhere to be seen. So Jeff and I lapped the lake and to see if Bill would show. However he wasn't there when we got back about 15 minutes later, so we just took off on our normal Walled Lake ride. But Jeff we did add a big hill down to Proud Lake and back, which was fun to sail down and then climb back up.
Rides this week are looking spotty due to the move to Bloomington on Friday, but I'm certainly going to work a couple in and am looking forward to riding down in Bloomington this weekend and next week.
Oh and I was all excited that I hit 31 mph at Cranbrook on Saturday, but I read in the International Herald Tribune this morning that one of the riders in the Giro d'Italia was clocked on one of the descents at 73 mph!! But then again there was another rider who went over a guardrail and fell 250 feet into a ravine. He's conscious now, but suffered a broken femur, broken ribs, broken vertebrae, and a collapsed lung. The other riders protested by riding at half-speed during the next stage saying the course was too dangerous.
