I was looking through some old images on my computer the other day. The pictures included some stuff I donated to a local charity in 2006. In the folder I found a picture of my 1989 red Trek 1500 road bike. Several month ago I searched for a picture while reminiscing about my epic two day ride from Griffin, Georgia to St. George Island. I recalled the ride in a post entitled
St. George Island or Bust. My search for a picture for that post ended unsuccessfully. I suppose it's when you're not looking for something that you're most likely to find it. I was installing some new software on my computer the other day and that's when I found my old pictures. I also found a picture of my barely used Blackburn fan type bike trainer and a Trek bike we bought from a friend for Susan. She never rode the bike and both items were also donated.
We hadn't ridden those bikes in years so I guess it was time to get rid of them. Who would have thought that just a few year later we'd catch the cycling bug again and have two new bikes. I suppose our rekindled enthusiasm for cycling has partly to do with our moving from Decatur to Jonesboro in 2004. Now that we are Outside-the-Perimeter (OTP) we both feel safer riding on the road.

Now that we're riding again I sure wish we'd kept some of our old cycling stuff. The next time we decide to get rid of stuff I'll think twice about it.
Thanks for reading.
