What was the point of me doing this again?

It looks like a few people still click to this thing now and then. I completely forgot that I ever got this ambitious. oops. Leaves me wondering if there's even any point to this or not. Oh well, I guess I'll treat it more like a journal at this point and if anyone reads it, good for them.

At this point, I've ridden 126 miles. Each ride is getting easier and longer, plus the average speed is going up too. Noticed I'm getting a little skinnier overall, and recently started getting comments from people recently that my walking is improved. As an odd aside, my toes don't look as curled and I think I'm getting movement back to them.

Rode 15.7 miles yesterday from Elmore towards Fremont. I got sunburnt and the term bite and suck (and pucker up) was coined as well. Can't really remember much else of it other than that. Oh, got new brake levers since I snapped the one.

Had Josh over for supper, that went well. He seems to be doing good, just a bit depressed from being in the grungy, glum, crazy folks place. Not sure at this point if he'll be in for 30 days or if they'll hold him for 60 because of paper work issues.

First real ride on streets today, parade doesn't count, with mirrors, very very helpful. Rather uneventful, just thought I'd make note of how nice the mirrors are.

Note to self: Try updating this more often, and sooner after a ride for a better story.
