chasing adil

my indian friend on dailymile, adil g, is always pushing me to ride further than i plan. i was right with him yesterday and then he threw down another big ride forcing me to ride close to 30 miles today. no problem, right? i do that all the time when i get up at 4:30 or so, but i didn't wake up until after 5:00 today. that put me behind the eight ball. i had to decide whether to ride an hour before breakfast and fix something hot to eat or ride until breakfast time and serve cereal. i opted for the second choice. my children like cereal, don't they? so i caught up with adil (or close enough) and can spend my day smiling. (29.13 miles @ 15.1mph)
