FIRST BIKE RIDE of the year on Earth Day (how apropo)

Did 24 miles alltogether, but man, does my butt hurt. It was beautiful out, still a few icy spots on the trails but I'll live. I'm SO happy!! !! ! Gonna go ride some more today, while Mini-Reika is at school. I only have a month to ride while shes at school and then I have to pay a babysitter (her older sister, the only person I really trust w/ her)) to watch her while I ride.
Gonna ride in the "Walk and Roll for Hope" in May, its not very far (the bike ride part) but its for the foundation where I get her grants from so I want to give back something. My only problem is I seem to be unable to ask people to sponsor me. I just get all tounge-tied when I think of asking someone. Two of the girls from work put in money w/out me having to ask, but thats the only sponsers I have.
When my boss saw me (78 year old Greek Man) he asked me what was wrong, and I told him my butt hurt, he just smiled and said "Vasilene" He always makes me laugh. Its like his mission, I love him for caring if I ever laugh or not.
