208.6 -- finally made in under 210! I just keep plugging away at it, a little at a time.

Riding this week was really good. My students wanted to have the last class of the year (yes, the block ends early -- it's a weird schedule) at a diner. The diner part was OK, but the location was tricky: only 5 miles from my house, but up several substantial hills. Don't trust Google bicycle directions yet -- they sent me up a path in a local park that was equal parts cobblestones, gravel, mud, and steepness. I'm also increasing my long weekend ride as I get ready for my first metric century next month.
