Comment:

Time to collect some graduation cycling tunes, peeps! The end of an era is coming up for hubby and me in many ways -- were excited, proud, thrilled to be done with tuition, and a bit melancholy as our younger son graduates from UNC-Chapel Hill next Sunday following on the "Heels" (sorry, couldnt resist) of his big brother, UNC Class of 2009 and our years as Carolina parents come to a close. Tis the season -- were also of course celebrating the HS and college graduations of many of our friends children, and the law school graduation of a beautiful young cycling pal whose mom is a dear friend. CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES AND PARENTS OF GRADUATES!! :-) Please feel free to add songs -- especially fast tempo, as Ive got a lot of moderate-tempo hill stuff here! In the cool down category, check out the sweet version of "Pomp & Circumstance" and Jimmy Fallons "Walk of Shame", recorded 4/25/12 when his TV show was taped at UNC-CH (with my son in the 5th row :-)).
