I'm subtracting that emoticon thing lol.

Riding, where I kept a training log? About 12 years old, riding a 56 lbs Schwinn Sting Ray, a 5 spd (52x14-28) Cotton Picker. Typical entry: "Rode to end of Millstone and back. Didn't have to walk hill", translated to current terms, "Rode 1 mile out, 1 mile back, struggled up the 100 meter 8% grade hill". Racing (upgraded to a 51 cm Basso, tubulars, 53x15 top gear) since 15 yrs old, 1983.
