A New Kind of Petal to the Metal


For father's day this year the Rogers' kids and spouses went in on a new ride for Paul. We figured that with his desire to stay fit, his economic outlook on life, and the fact that gas prices are rising that he would be thrilled with his newfound friend. It turns out that we were right.
-
In a quick follow up conversation with Paul about his new bike he mentioned that he was having the time of his life weaving this way and that to avoid traffic on his way to the bookstore, which happens to be about 10 miles from home. He said that he got a thumbs up and a head nod from a guy on a roadbike while cruising along on his adventure. He said that it reminded him of the good old days when he would cruise through Long Beach and ride alongside the ocean.

In summary, if you see an old guy with white hair and a big smile on his face riding his bike down the road, go ahead and give him a thumbs up. Chances are, you might be related to him.
