biking!

[boolean]

i put my slick tires on my bike today and went out for a practice road ride. i knew the tires would make a huge difference but it still surprised me, i went for 25 miles and could have done more, but riding on the roads at night is asking for trouble, the rooty/rocky trails are much safer for that! i even hit a new top speed on a long downhill (12% grade, i made it all the way up it too) of 40 mph, scary. i wonder what i could hit on an actual road bike. plus, this was a ride where i did not actually get hurt!

so i'm probably in good shape for sunday, the hills tired me out, but i could have gone along endlessly on the flat parts.

this is probably boring for a lot of people, so um, look over there!
