Welcome!

It's a new year and time once again to give a new look to this blog. New graphics and colors. Same bike writer!



This blog is created not only to track my own progress on my biking journey but it is intended to also assist others who have either osteo or rheumatoid arthritis or both like I do. I hope as you read about the progress I have made that it gives you inspiration and hope that you can overcome the dibilitating effects of these conditions.



If your doctor agrees that you should be capable of expanding your limits read on and don't be afraid, just listen to your body and give it challenges. Biking is a great non-impact form of exercise and greatly enhances flexibility and range of motion.



It's not a substitute for Doctor visits, taking your meds or otherwise getting off your health plan but it auguments what your Doctor does for you and can give you a better quality of life. Go for it!

Dexter Apple Daze Part I

Cider Mill in Dexter alongside the Huron River.  I revisited Dexter today and there was an Apple Daze fair going on.  From downtown I took a trip to the Cider Mill and met up with some long lines but the fresh donuts and cider were well worth the wait.  It's a popular biking destination and I saw several other riders while visiting. 


This is a good example of some of the older beautiful homes in the town, historical preservation is important here.
You can see that the panniers are starting to get full from my shopping and browsing at the local vendors and artists.
I picked up some Michigan Maple Syrup from this place.  And some honey and honey products from the booth next door.

Oh Boy! I Won! Summer Games Contest From Let's Go Ride A Bike

My winning prize!  Beautiful!

Wow, I just happened to log onto Facebook and found out from an online friend in the UK that I won the bike contest online that I had entered.  Cool!  A gorgeous set of panniers.  Yay me!  Here is the link to the LGRAB website (it can also be found under my favorite sites on the right hand side of this page.  But this link is to the blog post announcing some of the contestants and catagories. 


It's so much fun to try new things, the contest was a big win all the way around because I tried several new things I might otherwise not have tried.  And now I'll be getting a set of beautiful panniers.  Yipee!
