The weather here in North Carolina is fantastic (at the moment)...the temperature hit 72 degrees today and has been up and down from the mid 50s to the mid 70s. Like they say..."It's North Carolina Weather...if you don't like it, hang around a few hours and it will change!" As a resident of Raleigh, I can assure you that you will not have time to visit all the historical places, the fun, places and the educational places Raleigh has to offer.

Another day of training for everyone in the heat. We are getting up really early and riding.

And so excited about my new phone holder that attaches to my bike so I can play music, answer the phone, skype all kinds of fun things to do while riding!! Hope to down load pictures this weekend of everyone!... read more... read more
