Caught!
I'm 2.15 miles ahead of my biking goal now! I started the day planning to ride about 50 miles. That would've cut my goal's lead drastically. I ended up riding 90.41 miles. Don't ask how that kind of thing happens. It just does. I get to my turn around point, feel good and just keep going. Not that I ever really felt good today. It was cold. (Started at 32 degrees.) It was windy. My first 40-some miles I only averaged 12.7mph. I picked up quite a bit of speed over the next 40 miles - the wind at my back - then lost a tenth at the end. Who cares! I made it! Woohoo! I hope the weather holds long enough for me to get in a few miles tomorrow so I don't fall behind again. It's supposed to be nasty! Cold and wet! Yuck!

Congratulations, Mike, on meeting your biking goal! Are you ready to bike out to Oregon yet? Dan Cammack
Actually, I haven't made my goal yet. I just caught up. (Actually, I'm falling behind again because of the weather.) But I will make it. The weather can't be bad forever.
