Cycling, knitting

July 28, 2008 – 7:14 pm

I took Saturday off of the bike, but Sunday I went on a ride with Tien again. I rode 54.3 miles at about the same pace as last time. She rode slightly less because she was stopping to check out a loom that was for sale while I went back to the car and drove [...]

I’ve gotten that down to as low as 49 minutes (including stops) when I timed myself on Monday. That [...]
