My bike ride to church on Sundays is a blessing to me. It gives me a reason to ride, and I am all ways glad after I get home. The sermon was about how God loves us, even though we are sinners. He called it grace. I am so glad for grace and for Jesus.

I can go over the Branner bridge like it is flat now. I was having pain in my left knee, but I adjusted the clip so that my foot is more forward, and on the front ball of my foot. I was pedalling on my toes, and I think this was hurting my knee. I am sure this will improve my riding. I took a nice picture. I went about 25 miles today, and I feel great!

I bought a new shirt at the bike shop for 45 dollars. Its expensive, but I love the back pockets and its very clingy so it does not act like a sail. It is neon green too, so it makes it easy for cars to see me. Money well spent I think. Anyway, I am in a funk on my bike riding. And I am only riding once a week. Not enough to keep my fitness. I hope I can break out of it and start riding more. I rode to church and to small group last week. We met at Arby's on Wanamaker RD. I normally stay away from that area, because traffic is very heavy. But on Sunday there were few cars, and 17th is a 5 lane street. On the way home, I went straight down 17th all the way across town. Today I was not sure if I was fit enough to ride to church, but I had no problem and I feel great. I needed it because I have been laying on the couch to much. I took a nice picture of a cone flower along Shunga Trail.
