french note / biking

OKay, i totally got really excited when i hit that up,
And right before I was going to hunt down whoever wrote it for being so lovely and technical
I realized there was a misuse of an à somewhere in there and now it's blinding me. LAMEEEEEEE
This being said, I BIKED 15 MILES TODAY (24 km)~! It took about an hour. I also learned how to fix a flat watched jeff fix my flat tire TUBE. This is kind of exciting, because even though Jeff went with me, he rides far enough ahead that I'm not actually getting any wind-lessness benefit from him.
Some reflections
I am still not as excited about Going biking as I am enthused about running.
However, I get an awesome rush when I get going.
I still have trouble sometimes when there are other riders around... because they pass me, with 3 waterbottles and a fender, with the same cadence but on an epicly [THAT'S RIGHT I'M COINING THE WORD] higher gear, and way cooler equipment. And then I feel like I'm going nowhere
However, it's getting easier to be comfortable with where I'm at and to just focus on my own ride.
The last 2 miles of that ride is always beeping terrible, because we have a headwind, it's the end of the ride, and there's an incline for the last 4 miles AND a hill near the end...
The little
Soon, I am going to get equipment too. Listy list - jacket, waterbottles +racks/holders, patch kit, extra tube, reflective gear, socks. If anyone can add to this that would be sweet.
anyway ummm
Tonight I'm working. Tomorrow is 18 miles - we're going to go earlier than usual, but that's probably good because one day it'll be a 6am forced start anyway. I also have rehearsal from 1-5 so it is prudent to finish as much work as possible tonight.
