John: Your setting sounds delicious. Care to post some cycling wildlife photos, if you have them? And a photo of the Brompton would be nice. Within a few hundred yards of my door I have our riverine Bosque (green gem in high desert landscape), very rideable -- if you have fat tires for sand --

I will also add that sometimes when I decide to go for just a short rideI start feeling energized and often stretch a planned 10 minute ride to 30 or 40 minutes as its so nice to be moving why stop. Paul in Dallas  -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I also get to appreciate that these rides keep one more car off the road. I wish our communities had more of that relief, seems cleaner and healthier. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

Not much to add to the title, I just wanted to say it. I notice in lots of posts - including mine - a lament to ride more/longer, as if shorter rides don't count. Bollocks on that. 10 miles is good, shorter is also ok. You're outside on the bike pedaling, it's fun, you don't have to do it all
