My Scenic Route

I just got back from the longest bike ride I've taken yet: 2.6 hours. That may not seem that long to you pros, but this is only about the 8th ride I've take. Along with Ev, I explored a new bike trail way north through Highland Park and Lake Forest, Pecker's hometown. That area is very scenic, and has some good open straightaways to do some serious pedaling on. The only other ride I've taken that compares in terms of length and comfort is the first one I ever took when I went camping in southern IL a month ago (check out the pics below). That was some smoooooth riding.

I'm going to go scrounge for food again for the third night in a row because I've run out of decent meals and my car is still not back from the shop for me to take to take to the grocery store. The body shop had to order an entirely new dashboard, but the first one that came in the mail broke. Wonderful, just wonderful. It'd better damn well be ready by Monday.
