We took part in SpokeFest 2009 over the weekend. This was a gathering of about 1600 bicycle enthusiasts taking part in a 21 mile bicycle enthusiasmic ride. We did it last year and enjoyed it and we did it this year and enjoyed it less.
Susan is not a large bicycle enthusiast. She prefers the slower running and jogging kind of physical exertion. I had a less enjoyable time due to my failing ability to exert myself.
Last year I set a goal of riding up Doomsday Hill, a sizable climb. I made it. This year...not even close.
We ended up turning the 21 miles into about nine, which was fine with us. It is unfortunate because the ride is a very nice ride along a very scenic portion of the city. I would have liked to have done the whole thing but then I would have been useless the rest of the day.
I needed to be a some value because we planned on going to the fair for the afternoon.
The fair was fabulous because we came away with ribbons for our wine. I will post pictures after the fair is over when I get my wines and beers back.
A sad note: no ribbons for beer.
