\nAfter spending the past 12 days NOT cycling, it felt good to wake up this morning knowing that I would once again find myself back on the road. Yes, last week was a fantastic week. And yes, I miss Cuba, and Marleah, and perhaps the rum. But getting back on the bike would be a good way to take my mind off such things.
\nThanks to Robin and Sheila!
\nThat said, today did not pan out the way I would\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve liked. At all. No, nothing terrible happened. There were no mechanical issues. No close encounters with vehicles. But there was rain. A lot of rain. Not when I …<\/p>\n

\nIf anyone can speak to the emergence of Plano as a bicycle-friendly community, it’s resident David Jones.
\n“It’s really on the move in Plano,” Jones said.
