The bike was unpacked, covered and I wondered if there was any reason to get out of bed, really? A little ride just doesn't cut it - you need a goal, a real destination, and days and days and days.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-7877067626423443312012-08-06T13:45:25.030-08:002012-08-06T13:45:25.030-08:00Still haven't gotten back into the "routi...Still haven't gotten back into the "routine".
