Introduction

Greetings one and all. I intend to use this blog to jot down my random thoughts as I attempt to get back into decent cycling shape and hopefully lose some weight along the way.

I've recently started commuting to work on a regular basis. It's a nice flat 7.25 mile trip through the booming metropolis of Bloomington/Normal Illinois. With gas prices as high as they are, it seemed as good a time as any to begin riding to work.

Also in the works are a few longer distance organized rides during the summer. The first will be a 50-mile jaunt throught Milwaukee,WI and points north in the Miller Ride for the Arts that will be held this Sunday, June 3rd.

July 7th I'll be doing the Pedaling for Kicks ride in Bloomington, IL. I hope to do the 64-mile metric century route. Then August 11th I hope to do the metric century route of the Interplanetary Bike Ride in Peoria, IL.
