"rolling hills" which would be a whole lot hillier than shampoo-banana(CHampaign-Urbana), but I really, really like rolling hills. There's a 50 mile loop and a 7 mile loop, so I am hoping to get 3 50's in.

I think I have ridden about 1.7 times as much and as hard this past two weeks
When my friend Anne called and said "go for a ride?" an inner voice said, "gotta train for Calvin!!! Yes!" automatically instead of " um, what do I have to do ..."
There's a 60 mile ride we do Labor Day that starts 40 miles away... I think I'll be ready to do the "ride to the ride" and make it a century again (I did it twice, but last year was so **** hot that I wasn't in shape so I didn't) ... it means getting up before dawn...but it also means riding with my not so competitive buddies 'cause I've already ridden 40 miles (then I throw my bike in somebody's car and we go to the MoonGlo and have really disgustingly big burgers and beer under this huge moose head...)
