Tonight's ride was wonderful. Like, seriously, seriously good. It was so good, in fact, that when I got home...I turned around, went back, and did it again. 18 miles, longest I've ever ridden in one, er, sitting.

Also, the first time I've ridden in real, actual dark. Not that the trail wasn't well-lit, but there were patches that were actually pitch black. Discovery: My front light is junk. I'll have to get a new one if I want to make a habit out of this.

And I do! I feel so great! =) I have decided, I'm in training to do a century. I'm already almost a fifth of the way there...
