I am a little out of shape, but it sure was nice to get outdoors and ride. This has been a long, miserable winter.

After reading about the dead bikers recently, and the stats about bike-auto collisions, I was thinking to myself how wonderful it is to live by the Provo Canyon Parkway where I can enjoy the scenery and I don't have to worry about cars. Then I realized how many longboarders I was dodging and I wonder if I am at greater risk or lesser risk. It's amazing how many of them don't ever look up. More amazing is how few of them wear helmets. I don't think I saw a single helmet yesterday.
