Bike shop mural

[Big IV]

Took a quick run up to Big Run, PA. Saw a cool mural on the side of a bike shop. Small, pretty shop. Crowded show room. Friendly people.

I saw it the other day and had to go back packing a camera.

Of course they are friendly people, you're in western Pennsylvania!

How do you like Pa so far?  I grew up south of Pittsburgh, left in '83, miss the hell out of it.

You'll have a hard time finding time to study with all the excellant riding nearby.

Enjoy it while you can.

I was coming down one of the highways out near Bell today (South of Dubois I think) and I was leaning left and right easily in a comfortable rhythm with the highway and I thought "man I love these roads."

I've managed to slip through most of the towns with little to no traffic thus far, but probably because I have been moving at odd times.

My program is four days a week, with studying on the weekend. I've managed to read ahead some this week. Hopefully I will be able to keep studying and riding in a nice balance. So far, so good on that count.

I'm loving my summer up here so far. Can't wait until my wife comes up to join me in a few weeks. I've missed her this week. But that's not Pa's fault.
