Not really. I've had my fun on two wheels and riding isn't that much fun
for me anymore. Although when I'm riding, I enjoy it, its the back pain
caused by rough roads that takes the pleasure out of it.

Enthusiastic rider in that first year. Weren't we all?

It's better to ride in the fall, winter and spring around here. It's too
hot to dress in heavy clothes to ride in summer. Unlike a lot of Texans, I
wouldn't ride without my helmet and a heavy jacket. I see a lot of them
riding in T-shirts, shorts with tennis shoes or sandals.

Get on it and ride...
