Oh. My. God. 79 solo miles. I swear that the 3 mile two percent grade on the way back was not there the first time. It's not steep, but if you try to coast, you slow. No shade. That was awful, but a good ride none the less. Got far enough that once I saw farms and pick 'em up trucks I turned around.

Now I'm enjoying a cream soda and ordered pizza. My mom got home and saw me passed out on my bed while still wearing my kit.
