I set out to do 30 miles as a bit of a celebration of my bike's "birthday", so I headed north on the Little Miami trail. I wound up in Fort Ancient...18 miles away. It was getting hot, so I turned around and went back. Lots of people with their kids and dogs (not surprisingly) on the trail, so getting back was a little hairy. I went through less water than I thought I would (though I drained the camelbak and the Gatorade). I was afraid I'd run out of Shot Bloks, but I made it back with two still in the package. I definitely saw an owl fly across the trail on the way back.

36 miles total. I'm definitely in better shape, though I'm not setting any speed records.
