Cathedral Ride

I went out this afternoon for a short 14 miler. The highlight of the ride was climbing the hill on the way up to the National Cathedral. It's a good 2.5 mile hill that gets you breathing heavy by the top. Of course, getting to catch your breath at the foot of the cathedral is a treat no matter how many times you do it.

My computer is still dead, so no stats.

Lunchtime ride

I stole away today for 15 miles at lunch. I have no stats because my bike's computer died three miles in. That sucks because now I have to go buy a new one. WISH LIST!

I think I may actually ride this year

After a lackluster 2007 (only 800 miles) it is time to get back on the bike. I probably won't come close to my 2006 mark (we have a busy, busy summer planned), but I would like to double my 2007 mark.

So far this January I have been out on three rides: 33 miles on New Years day, 17 miles the day after and then 22 miles two days ago.

I even went out for a brief two mile ride yesterday in which Pippin pulled me on the bike the whole way. The little furball was actually strong enough to pull me the whole time. I was quite impressed. He was wiped out afterward though.



I am going to try to keep this blog more updated with posts about rides, Pippin, trips, whiskey of the single malt variety and maybe an occasional political post.
