Joy!

[Carolina]

We had new friends over for dinner the other night. By chance, they are both avid cyclists, have fantastic equipment and are very active.

Long story short, one friend is loaning us his "beater" cycle - a lightweight, smooth as silk LaMond. My hubby (Mr. I don't have time to exercise, but maybe I'll go out and purchase a $1000 bike just to see if I like it) is out cruising the extensive neighborhood roads around our house (!!!).

My kiddos can now handle two wheelers really well, and we can all ride together as a family now - to a hidden playground a couple of miles away within our neighborhood.

And, those of you who know me probably remember that I love to cycle. Well, my dream of joining the local cycle club and riding for hours along with my hubby (and maybe our new friends) is just a little closer...
