Signed up for Trip

Hello My Friends,

My exciting news:
I have signed up to ride around Lake Michigan!
Trip is June 1—21, 2018.
It is set up by bicycle company created by Nancy and Ken Wright.

Couple from Vermont sets up rides—
Route, lodging, food, SAG.
Doing all work themselves,
Riding with participants everyday,
Keeping costs down,
And enthusiasm up!

Daily mileage is in good range,
Lodging is inside (no camping).
Lake Michigan is brand new area for me.
Start point is in driving distance.

I won't know any riders.
That's true of when I first began.
We'll have at least one thing in common:
Riding a bike.

Now stationary biking in building
Has greater importance,
More commitment from me.
With something to read,
I keep pedaling.

Winter, winter, winter!
Storm dumped 16 inches
Snow on Northfield.
Beautiful deep, white blanket,
Covering every surface.

Toastmaster's club gives me occasional
Speech possibility.
Fun time last week presenting
Example of Inspirational talk.
Audience of twenty
Attentive and appreciative.

Grateful for longer daylight,
Friends as part of my days,
Visit with granddaughter Tigerlilly before return to University in Seoul, Korea.
Beloved Bob present in my life.

Hugs to each of you,
Lin

Limerick:

Reading disguises my static ride.
Let's me ignore that I am inside.
With nose in a book,
I don't have to look.
Story intrigue, my pedaling guide.
