[pianotech] OT - cycling in Grand Rapids?

[William Monroe]

Hee, hee,

Back in the historical times - B.C. (Before Children) I suppose if I were
riding alone, flat and no wind 18-20mph.  These days (Oldest is 5 now)
probably closer to 16mph on my own.  These days I only get dirty......ahhh,
no, never mind.  Road riding is my thing.  I'd love to have you along for a
ride.  Being 5'5" on a good day, it'll be nice to not have to look up at all
the other riders for a change.  ;-]
