A little on the short side for me, but Mrs Stormcrowe is just getting up some distance stamina now!

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Since then, I bought an extra inhaler, and it NEVER leaves the bike bag.

Saturday I work.
Sunday.........maybe try to push for the 20 mile mark! I only get to ride 2 days a week right now, so my progress is a little slow.
Monday.......hopefully push to the 20 mile mark again, and may shop for a fixedgear/single speed!

Trying to kick a chest cold. I probably didn't help things when I helped a friend move Monday and decided to ride there and back. 25 miles rt but adding 8 hours of moving in the middle....it was a good workout day

Since its my 50th birthday Sunday, and I need only 15 miles to get 1000 for the season on my new bike, I plan on going for a 50 mile ride on Sunday. (if the weather holds. as of now it looks like a high in the 50's, so that at least tolerable.
