I rode an *epic* 4 miles to take care of a friend's dog. Uphill both ways! In the sun, the heat, the miasma of having just awoken from a nap!

Gawd, I love my bike. I love being able to just jump on in whatever I'm wearing at the time and cruise off to run errands.

(I get a bigger thrill out of a 4 mile errand than out of a 40 mile zoom-zoom. I'm weird, I know. )
