As the month of May winds down, and we head into the unofficial beginning of summer holiday week-end, I want you all to drag out that old bike you have in the garage, and bring it in to your local bike shop for a tune-up and maybe new tires, and get out and do some riding this summer. May is National Bike Month, and it's not too late to participate. Co-op members Ben and Paula Williams are racing in the Hudson to Highlands series this summer with their (Hungry Hollow Co-op sponsored) Clockwork Construction Inc RacingTeam, now in its second year of kicking butt on the trails. Co-op staffer Tyler Conlon is training for his first triathlon with his sister (former co-op employee) Hana. And I'm off to my first Century, Mountains of Misery, in southwestern Virginia. We'd like to hear from you regarding your bike plans and adventures this summer! Go out and have fun, and don't forget to pick up some healthy snacks at the Co-op!! (Look for the “What Fuels Your Ride” signs on the shelves to see other riders’ favorites.) -kp

Editor’s Note: In case you didn’t check out the link above, the 2010 Mountains of Misery is a 104-mile challenge ride with 10,000 feet of climbing. It begins at 7 am, tomorrow, May 30th and goes until the riders complete the course or until it closes at 6 pm, whichever comes first. Let’s all beam thoughts of strength, energy, and endurance to Kathey, to help insure that she makes it to the end where the massage therapists are waiting to welcome the finishers.
