I actually don't know cuz I don't own a cyclocomputer and haven't mapped it. My guess would be somewhere in the 35-36 mile range. Lots of stoplights in the first 1/3 of the ride.

I rode it z2/3 according to my HR, or about <10bpm under a max effort for a 2hr interval. In layman terms, I rode it at a pace that was ever so slightly uncomfortable. Once the sun came up and I warmed up though it was very enjoyable.

Okay. Now why the **** would I fork over my hard earned money for that overpriced & ugly **** when I could get nicer mugs at the dollar store?

They made a mug for him, with his picture on it as a "hey, you're an awesome rider" kind of thing.

Nope, one for him, and one goes on display in the shop I believe.

Today I had lunch at Ruth's Chris thanks to the lunch special for Chicago Restaurant Week. The mushrooms sucked, but the petite filet (doused in butter) was amazing. The glass of malbec may have been a bad idea; now I'm so sleepy I don't know how I'll get through an afternoon at my desk.

Adulthood, it is so beautifull!

Payed off my credit card and some of my crank debt.

I've decided not to buy a 7710 bb until my cranks are completely paid off. I want to keep them new, just in case something happens, I'll be able to move them quickly. I really should've waited until I had the cash, but I found them online, in the US, and with chainring marked down from track supermarket prices. I had to get them.

I'm in class and I have to work tonight. Tomorrow I'm excited because a couple of betties want to climb with me tomorrow for the first time. My friend crushes me in strength, so he's going to make me look like a chump. I'll be around to joke with the ladies while he impresses us though, so I guess I win.

Planned a trip to SF this friday for Tulipmania at PIER 39 with a special someone. Anyone have any nice recommendations for things to do? Staying the whole day and only requirement is that it has to be safe.

Special someone's usually like chocolate & shopping; maybe a ride on the historic tram down the embarcadero & market to union square then followed by cable car ride to ghirardelli square/ fisherman's wharf?

Do you think it would be better to drive over or ferry over from Oakland?
