slow and steady won the race

Tuesday I road with all my gear to Whitmore Lake (approximately 25 miles round trip) with my friends Sarah, Ben (part of the way), Luke, and Eric. The first five miles or so were very challenging, which I think was a combination of the grade and it being the first five miles I had ever ridden with a fully geared up bike.

Unforunately, with graduation and my family coming in to town, I''m afraid I won''t get any more long(ish) geared up rides in before the trip. Oh well, I have two months of it ahead of me, and I couldn''t be more excited. Cheers!
