The Road Les Pedaled: Tour de Cure
http://theroadlespedaled.blogspot.com/2010/03/tour-de-cure.html
The Road Les Pedaled. February 28, 2010. Today was the annual Tour de Cure ride, raising money for the American Diabetes Association. I did this ride last year as well and had a great time. This year I entered as a part of the Florida Freewheelers. The day started off FREEZING! Here's what I wore:. Two pairs of gloves. Ski band around my ears. Two pairs of socks. Two pairs of pants. And I was still FREEZING! After he split off I tagged along with my FFW friends Sharon and Joanne. At that point I started ...

The Road Les Pedaled: Shadow Ride
http://theroadlespedaled.blogspot.com/2010/03/shadow-ride.html
The Road Les Pedaled. February 23, 2010. It was 81 degrees this afternoon and I had so much fun just riding around near my house. I have access to some pretty great back roads in the middle of nowhere, sort of near the Sanford Airport. It's always quiet with long stretches of road. My first stop was to see what was happening at Lake Jessup Park. I pulled up near the boat ramp to check it out. And not surprisingly, people had gone fishin'. Time to head home after a beautiful day's ride. Lake Mary, FL.

The Road Les Pedaled: December 2009
http://theroadlespedaled.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The Road Les Pedaled. December 12, 2009. Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I've been on a bit of a medical hiatus. I haven't been able to ride for about a month now, so it's been difficult for me to focus on future events and plans. I'm also having some issues with Blogger right now, so my goal is to refocus on the customization of my site. My plan for my next event is to participate in the Downtown Holiday Lights Ride. Lake Mary, FL. View my complete profile. Tweets from the Road.

The Road Les Pedaled: Two-Ride Day
http://theroadlespedaled.blogspot.com/2010/03/two-ride-day.html
The Road Les Pedaled. March 14, 2010. So with Red in the truck I headed out at dawn, which turned out to be around 7:15 am since we sprung forward last night. It was a beautiful sunrise, which I attempted to capture from my car on the way to the ride start! As usual we met at 8:00 at Lake Mills Park to do the 42-mile Eastside Expedition. Route Several of the usual suspects showed up. I called.you got it.Mr. Rescue (no need to Search)! Plan B was Steve would put the bike rack on the car and come to rescue...

The Road Les Pedaled: Clean Air Ride
http://theroadlespedaled.blogspot.com/2010/03/clean-air-ride.html
The Road Les Pedaled. March 20, 2010. About two months ago my friend Martha asked me if I would do the Clean Air Ride. With her. Oh, but of course! Basically anytime anyone asks me to do a ride, I'm there. This particular ride raised money for the Key Training Center. A very worthwhile cause. Martha and I had done the Rails to Trails. Ride at the same location last year, the Withlacoochee State Trail. Red has a new home! Near the lake we bothered some kids hanging out on top of a picnic table to take a p...

The Road Les Pedaled: Flamingos Ride
http://theroadlespedaled.blogspot.com/2010/03/flamingos-ride.html
The Road Les Pedaled. March 13, 2010. After a long hiatus, the Flamingos, the women's branch of the Florida Freewheelers, started conducting organized rides again. This is a great group of women who love cycling and want to share their passion with other women of all skill levels and ages. Today's ride was the renaissance. We met at Cady Way Park to embark on our social ride. Here's the group. It was a beautiful day. I invited my fearless friend Candace (a/k/a Low Rider) to come out. Allison, Sharon, Ed.

The Road Les Pedaled: February 2010
http://theroadlespedaled.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
The Road Les Pedaled. February 13, 2010. It's funny how pretty much year-round I'm wishing I were in some other climate, yearning for seasons instead of just downright hot and humid every day. Well, right now I'd pay some cash for some heat and humidity. I normally get up at 5:00 so I guess my body clock was on auto pilot. Needless to say, I had plenty of time to get to Lake Mills Park for the 8:00 FFW ride. So two pairs of socks, two pairs of pants, two heavy-duty shirts, two pairs of gloves, a jacket, ...

The Road Les Pedaled: November 2009
http://theroadlespedaled.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
The Road Les Pedaled. November 7, 2009. I have been in the biggest funk all week. I'm not sure why. Maybe some post-trip letdown or something. I haven't been able to snap out of it yet. I'm going for my first ride since the tour tomorrow morning, so maybe that'll help clear my mind and get me back down to earth. In looking back on my first tour experience, here are a few things I've been reflecting on. Would I offer her a ride to a location 60 miles away? I can't imagine doing without some of the ameniti...

The Road Les Pedaled: October 2009
http://theroadlespedaled.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
The Road Les Pedaled. Crossing the finish line. October 31, 2009. I'm SOOOOOOOOO glad I did! It was 30 miles of sheer bliss. Mr S&R took these pictures of me at dawn just before starting. And then this one right after I took off. And while I was riding I asked him to take some pictures of the sunrise because he had his good camera and I was on the road. Just wanted to share what I was experiencing. And he brought me Krispy Kremes and chocolate milk. Breakfast of champions! What I didn't know was that I w...
