Test is today. It's being given by the fastest female rider in the area, who is also a coach. She recently did a local hill climb time trial in 20 minutes. It takes me about 30 minutes to do that climb.

You should challengethe the young lady to a contest to see who rides the most miles this year. Say put a dinner out at a fancy restureant as the prize. Should help to increase your yearly milage.

Not a bad idea. Talk about win-win. But it would be one of those "I have a nice table for you and your daughter right over here."
