    Minneapolis Silvio

    Adjusted fit and controls on a trainer. One 90 minute parking lot session and onto the mups for me. However it was a Sofrider, more upright. And I would have benefited greatly from more time learning slow speed turns and building new reflexes.

    Flipped by a Vendetta

    Sanibel island now has a lovely amount of paved bike paths perfect for lazy days and going to a bar/food. There is narrow road to Captiva that I am not comfortable biking on. I suspect if you still have a "need for speed" when you retire , you will be riding over the causeway to the mainland.
