This past St. Paddy’s day, no, I did not drink green beer.

I did however don a bright green shirt and enjoyed the great, green, outdoors of Atlanta on my bicycle, Belle.

I was accompanied by my friend for whom I helped choose a bike a couple of months ago. I am happy to report that she has become quite the strong cyclist.

We started at Smyrna Bicycles, which is located very close to the Silver Comet Trail head, and cycled for about 10 miles along the trail.  I wanted to use this opportunity to ease my friend into recreational cycling, an activity in which I rarely partake myself.  Without the presence of ethanol, it seemed like an atypical St. Patrick’s day activity, yet we did see plenty of greenery and had a fun time celebrating in our own way.

How did you spend your St. Patrick’s day?
