I rode 63.66 miles yesterday with the bike club.  They were very friendly.  I started out too quick, and by the end of the ride I was sluggish, but I made it home OK.  Today, I rode my mountain bike to the bike shop to  fix a couple of broken spokes.  The bike mechanic suggested that I replace my rims instead.  I thought it was a good idea, so I did.  It only cost 127 dollars. P.S. the bike rides nice with the new rims!
