2000 miles....

Gobble, gobble....
2000 miles....

54F and out on the water....

Lets see..... I put the green Surly on the road on the 19th of September, 2006 and just turned over 2000 miles on it tonight. Not bad for a bike that I don't "ride that much".

I was heading onto the trail that goes around (kinda) Big Woods Lake tonight when I saw the turkeys in the first picture. There were a slug of them just cackling away. On my way back through the south side of the same trail I saw a couple in their kayaks. They must have wanted to get in another trip before it gets cold. Good for them, I say! That's something I hope to do in the next year or so. It has to be good for building upper body strength, eh? Plus, it looks like fun. I loved being on the water when I was a kid and have been thinking of getting a kayak for several years. The only problem is that it would take away from my cycling time. Kinda like xc skiing does in the winter. I've thought about starting to run again, too. Nothing serious. Just a couple of miles a day. Ahhhh well. We'll see. Judy and I are heading to Tablerock Lake in southern Missouri in a few weeks for some fly fishing. The trout down there are awesome to catch. She reads while I fish. It's all good!

That's it for tonight.

Ride safe.

Peace out, yo!
