Base miles!

That's what I've been up too lately, sorry, no pics as it's been on skinny tires down the blacktop, not many interesting things to see so I don't usually take the camera. Tonight was good though as Jessie & I left home at 6:00pm to try to make it to Lewellen, 52 miles west before dark, had to pull the plug 10 miles short though due to DARKNESS! Oldest son came & picked us up but before he arrived we watched a spectacular thunderstorm brew in the southeast.

Another 100 miles & I've got more miles in than I rode the entire year of '09, not sure why I'm pushing it more this year, I have nothing in mind (ok, I've got a couple of twisted ideas in mind for later on!) but no races planned, no BRAN or RAGBRAI. It just feels good to be out again riding more miles after a rather stressful year last year of learning a new job & getting in the swing of things.

The Fargo build is advancing at a snail's pace but that's alright as I think once it's done my other bikes will be collecting dust, but still looking forward to getting it decked out & pointed towards ADVENTURE! Meanwhile, "ride & smile"!
