Mid-Life Crisis?

Ever since Terri decided to do a triathalon earlier this year, I've been back on the bike to train along side of her. I had forgotten just how much I love riding. Since that fateful day in February, I have been obsessed with riding. It seems to be all I think about. I guess there are worse obsessions I could have.

While driving to San Diego, I caught myself evaluating the shoulders of the road for cycling. (they didn't look too bad). Wait a minute, I can't ride to San Diego. It's 300+ miles with some huge-assed hills! It would take at least 3 days to complete. Oh well.

Gila Bend! I could ride there! It's only about 90 miles and pretty flat. On the way home I pay closer attention to the road from GB to the house. This is completely doable. I ran the idea by Terri to see what she thought. "Is that a crazy idea"? "No crazier than me doing a triathalon" she said. Approval! Support! Sweet!

So, around my 40th birthday, I will ride! Should be fun & interesting at the same time.
Stay tuned for details...
