Ambitious Me

This past Saturday, my friend Cristy and I biked over 100 km (roughly over 62 miles) from my front door (in the boondocks) to Parliament Hill. It was a fantastic day - could not have asked for better weather. However, neither of us stopped to think of the consequences that this bike run would have. Over 6 hours of biking (not including walking time downtown).

Needless to say, we didn't get home before dark. It was cold and we ended up walking our bikes the last 3 km home. When I arrived home, I could barely walk, and I was starving!!
As Mark Peterkins told me later, "I thought it was an ambitious goal..."

But it sure was fun - and I'm glad we did it!

Ambitious is right! I bike a lot but even I wouldn't attempt 100 km on a mountain bike!
