hi gretchen!

i know that you mean.. now granted.. i only have about 70 miles on my bike but then... i've only had it a week! i'm soooo addicted!

yesterday we were climbing to the national part entrance and i passed my landmark of the previous day.. then was just thinking of turning around at the next road.. when i saw the gate... so i decided.. what the heck! i peddled my little butt all the way up! lol! for my third ride outside of the neighborhood i was really quite proud of myself! i can't wait to do a 20-miler now! i wish we didn't have to go shopping tonight (did i really say that?)

i told hubby that i wanted to do the tour de palm springs next feb.. and do one of the short rides.. but now i'm thinking i'll be ready for the 50 or even... dare i say it.... the century! this bike thing is addicting!!!!! (plus i'm so much more confident not that i have the new pedals and know i can unclip in a clinch!)

oh.. i still haven't ridden at night.. dusk.. but not dark yet...
