Wind, wind, go away!

I'm up to 44 miles on my bike so far. Last season I ended around 1550. I was hoping to hit 2000 this summer but with the belly problem I guess I won't know if that's possible. I can't even imagine half the hills I ride to be doable. My heart rates at 120 writing this entry I bet. I have hit some hills around Lakeland and Afton and even took a ride with my favorite biking partner. She had to probably work out after we rode. :( Theres always Janice and Jace-they're happy to bike lazily. ;) I gotta say though, this wind is so annoying! I don't like to bike in the wind ever- but this year I especially don't. Hoping to get many rides in before the big day!

Yoda or Artax?

Everytime I bike across this little bridge I look down the swamp and think I'm going to see Yoda or Artax. (Artax is from "The Never Ending Story") I could swear it was filmed here.

Death Hill

This picture gives the person looking at it no real feeling for the way I felt biking up it. Did I mention it was 90 degrees with severe humidity? How bout that I didn't get off and walk? How bout that it was a straight uphill climb FOREVER? That I was going 5 mph'ers? That I got a slight pain in my head? That I did this on purpose? That I am at 1050 miles?!!! Hurray!
