Music to watch girls go by
For the past three weekends we've been going to watch bike races, first in Baltimore and then nearer home in Arlington and also watching the Giro d'Italia on the TV; quite an introduction to the sport for Kitty.
In fact this Sunday Helen and I rode in a public event ably supported by Kitty's cheering and photography. The day started cool and damp but soon warmed up and the crews cleared the standing water off the closed course. It was great not only riding without having to stop but riding with people who, mainly, could comport themselves on a bike. I managed to complete eight laps for 62 miles with cramping muscles at the end and Helen, who was stopped from doing her last lap, did 55 miles.
Afterwards we watched the real riders toil in the hot sun whilst we enjoyed all manner of delicious food and then wearily wended our way home to feast upon a Chinese meal with lashings of beer and wine.
