Our first week has been good and we feel encouraged by it.  One minor mishap was on Thursday.  About a month ago I bought bike shoes (with cleats that lock into the peddles). I ( Ron) was coming to a stop and was preparing to support myself with my left foot.  At the last second I ran over a small rock and my weight shifted to my right side, however my right foot was still locked in to the pedal.  My knee took the brunt of the fall and needed stitches.  We were nine miles outside of Tomah and there was a hospital on our route.  The staff was great and, three stitches later, we were in and out in one hour.  That was three days ago and my knee has felt fine... And, yes I am still using the cleated shoes.
