passing 6000

after an all day volleyball tournament in dexter (our girls took second overall) and a spaghetti dinner at the united methodist church back in argonia, i decided i needed to do something active. i took a look at my bike log and decided the best thing to do was to get myself beyond the 6000 mile mark since i only needed 17.59 miles more.

the wind was out of the southwest for the first time in weeks, so i got to go out and challenge the newly resurfaced l'alpe d'anville. i must say, it was a bit smoother than it used to be. the only problem was the beating i took from the wind as i passed over it's summit. the swirling winds threatened to topple me.

other than that minor annoyance, the ride was a complete success. i rode. i passed the 6000 mile mark for the year. i returned happily. life is good. (19.92 miles @ 18.0mph)
