Chico has a very popular 100 mile bicycle ride called the Wildflower Century. I have ridden it many times, but missed it last year due to the herniated disk in my neck which had been getting worse over the years. If you read my blog, you'll remember that I had surgery back in November to correct the problem.
I haven't been doing much riding, but a friend and I decided to do the "metric century" option. This is cool way to say we opted for the shorter, 65 mile route. The weather, as has been the rule here in NorCal this spring, was spectacular. Somewhere around 4000 people participated. It was great to get out and spin my legs and to see all the other riders from up and down the west coast.
Today my neck is feeling a bit stiff. There must be some residual scar tissue in there.

So happy to hear all is well and I am very happy to
have your blog to read again. I really enjoy your pictures and writings. I admit I was one of those saying "where is he, I hope everything is ok". I would like to get with you and talk about your biking and flying some time. Thom and I have Hannah 5 1/2 and Hailey 4.
Have a great day. MARY
