    Well, I didn't do the 125. I did do the 100 with 4800 feet of climbing. I felt good and finished in 5:35. Ever heard the saying, "hot like GA asphalt ?" I experienced that today. I saw temps on the road of 107 degrees. I was able to spend about 4700 calories today. I sure hope everyone has a great cycling weekend, no matter what distance. Gotta go. I hear my friends, Ben and Jerry, calling. Been waiting a while for their call.

    wow awesome!!!

    16.43 Miles tonight. Really pushed myself due to the poor food choices today. One of my faster average speeds at this distance. Shopping around for my first road bike so I can get off these knobbing tires of my mountain bike.

    About 104 miles to go to hit my goal of 250 for this month!

    Keep up the good work everyone

    Cooler here tonight, and I got on the bike around 7:30. Wonderful ride! 25 miles, and I finally broke through 17.0 mph/average despite being stung by a wasp at about mile 4. Been flirting with it for a while, and was finally able to push over the hump! 182 so far this month for me.

    Serious question for you guys that have been doing this for a while. What do you do when it is winter, and it is dark when you leave for work in the morning, and dark when you get home? I have a full compliment of lights on my bike, but I am still not very comfortable riding after dark.
