My goal for this year was to get in good enough shape to ride the Cindy and not make a fool of myself. Well ... but for riding a really dorky bike, I guess I did that. Made it to 43 miles. My longest ride ever ... so far.

Now my goal is to get back on the bike and do some more. After Easter week, that is, when the dorky bike and I are both back in Wisconsin. Before then we'll see if I can translate some of my newfound bike muscles into keeping up with DH while hiking in Scotland.

Not having as much success with my third goal of losing some weight. But I'll keep working on that one too.

Oh, and goal 4: sell the bike when I leave here. I have a better one back in Norway.
