Susan, thank you so much for your kindness in opening your home to me for the night.  It was so relaxing,  to chat and dine, to get sleep, and not have to get up at 3:00 am to load up and drive to Paris.

Another 4.85 miles around paris on the slow roll---just got my anura out of the shop with new tires and I think he added an extra squirrel because for once I did not bring up the rear. lots of up and down hill, who knew paris was so mountainous. the 2 girls that rode with me before rode again, one on my schwinn. saw a hand trike, a cat trike and a performer trike, anyone heard of that brand?

Did some one say Schwinn?  It is red?  Anyway another round or two 'round the pond for 32 this evening  I was amazed with the warning to the clubs and all how many riders ran the stop signs, not just slow down and look but twenty mph runnin'. Saw The blue ford but no rider.
