LLB- now see! THAT is exactly what I mean... he most likely didn't mean it to sound that way... ugh! just not thinking...

13 miles is GREAT my friend... I was on a "Long Distance" forum just the other day and here is something I stumbled across... a discussion over what distance exactly is "long distance"...here's the quote:

"I said then and I'll say again I think Lon Haldeman's definition should suffice:

Long distance is just going farther than you have before.

If it works for Lon I think it's worth considering."

Lon Halderman and Susan Notorangelo are a husband-and wife team who are both two-time winners of the Race Across America (RAAM).

so LLB, YOU are a long distance cyclist!
