That's great, GB -- to be able to make progress against a goal while having an enjoyable time =
I love the picture of your bike by the Baltimore Monument; the lighting is so cool.
I'm starting to get psyched for my bike camping trip to PA next weekend. If the weather forecasts can be believed, it's going to warm up and be sunny and just perfect -- low 70's during the days, low 50's at night.
