Dinner with the Bike Club

Tonight I attended the monthly dinner of the Firenze bike team and although I was pretty shy at first, I opened up and met some great people who I am looking forward to riding with. It was a challenge to mix with a large group of people who I don't know, but thanks to Lorenzo and Lia, I relaxed and socialized in spite of my limited Italian vocabulary....and somehow I made it through the night. If things continue to go as well as in the past couple of weeks, I will find my place in this group. A little scared, but very excited to have the opportunity to actually ride with them. I will join their ride this Sunday, and hope it's not too hard for me! What an evening. I couldn't have asked for more.
