First ride....

This past weekend, I went out for the first of many rides on my way to 1000 miles. I decided that I would start off easy and maybe get in about ten miles. I decided to head up to Xenia and catch the bike path along route 42. When I started, it was super cold and I swaer I almost said "screw it" and got back in the Jeep. By the first mile, I though my ears were frozen. The wind was blowing like crazy, but I decided to keep going...It seemed the farther I went, the easier it was. I remember laughing as I pssed the first mile marking..thinking "sheesh, only 999 more to go". Anyway, when I got to five miles, I decided to keep going and I ended up riding the full 10 miles to Yellow Springs and back for a grand total of 20 miles. Not bad for the first trip out.
