Greetings once again!

I’ve decided to revive my Peaceride Bicycle Blog!

Why? Well, here are a few reasons:

*Last February, I sold my car!
*I turn 40 in a matter of DAYS from this post!
*I’ve missed my bicycle adventures, and I want to explore the North Shore of MN and other places on my bike once again!
*Oh, and I finally got a new bike! (2007 Gary Fisher Zebrano!)

This week I’m in Madison, WI - just on a “working vacation” where I’m designing websites, blogging, and bicycling around new trails that I missed last year.

Today, I traveled the 18.1 mile Capitol City State Trail, which loops around the south side of the Madison Metro area. A wonderful ride! If you try it yourself, be aware that a portion of it is a fee area, and you will need to pay $4 for the day (or $20 for a yearly pass). It is well worth it!

Enjoy my pictures on Flickr of the Capitol City State Trail! At nearly 40, yes, I feel a renewed sense of an “invincible summer.”

Total Distance Today: 22 miles
