Seniors have a water exercise class today so the water was very warm. I swam 1100 yards.
It was such a nice sunny day I decided that I would ride my bike from Riverside Park to Rockford, a distance of about 22 miles. I have two single speed bikes, a road bike with skinny tires and my retro with fat tires. The road bike is faster but I decided to take the retro. I wonder why I would take a bike that is harder to pedal and I concluded:
- the retro is easier to load in the car.
- the skinny tires are more prone to flats.
- the retro has a chain guard so I don't have to wear a sissy pant cinch.
- I just like the retro.
I note that whenever I go biking with Tasha see takes her fat tired bike and leaves the road bike at home. I think her reasons are the same as mine.
Remember only 13 days until the end of the silly season. I can't wait.

I despise sissy pants cinches too.
