Was I surprised to receive a package from Our Lady of the Perpetual Headwinds to remind me of tomorrow's Chocolate Bunny Ride. Laura and I created this ride a number of years back. It has become a tradition and each Easter weekend this ride takes place. Barring any bad storms in NJ this ride will once again be done. If you have never done the ride you owe it to yourself.....and your bike....to do this ride. Check the ride book or contact Laura for the start time.
Laura has enhanced the ride over the years to include chocolate bunnies or eggs at the end of the ride to celebrate finishing the ride. She has even added extra bunnies for jokes that merit a bunny. I think John Kramarz is the top winner in this category....or at least he was on the last Chocolate Bunny ride I attended while living in NJ.
So Laura....package received and acknowledged. ( with the Homestead coffee beans as an added treat!!!) It brought a smile to my face....and to my heart. It makes me miss you all back in NJ and the fun times we had.

The message from Laura....while private....did say that she and the gang will teach me how to climb hills again. I have to say I am concerned about keeping up with the gang when I return for a long visit. In Florida the only thing there is are flat roads. Hopefully the wind training here will give me a little help when I come back to visit this summer. Of course I will be on Seabiscuit ( my beater bike) which is heavier so I will have to use that excuse as much as I can while suffering on some of the most scenic hills in all of NJ!
Happy cycling until we meet this summer. I plan to be in NJ from mid July until the second week of September thanks to a very kind person who will let me and my two girls, Cindy and Tracey, stay in their house. What great friends I have.
