I don't really care about the hill, but I like the idea of doing a little more each week. Maybe I can try to have a higher average or something. Next time I take the boy, I will have him better mentally prepared for the hammerheads and what to expect. I think he will be fine.

Since that first ride almost 3 weeks ago, I've done many rides longer than I usually do on my own. I just got back from a solo 20 miles, which is as long as I could go in my "big" event last season (that's the picture of me finishing in my avatar). So, I'm making progress!

Don't know if I'll get to ride with the group tomorrow because it's Babe Ruth World Series time and I'm working the tournament gate. I'm going to try, though. I'll be better prepared for it from this conversation, too!
