What is the purpose?

Not exactly sure why I am continuing to keep this blog up. I am riding so few miles this year that it hardly seems worth it. I am crew chief for a 2x mixed team at Race Across Oregon beginning next week, and I find myself in the unusual situation of being completely prepared for that adventure with 4 days to spare. Temperature is predicted to be in the mid 90's today, and of course the sky is blue and cloudless. I took off on the fixed gear bike for a little ride around town early today before it got too warm. There were a lot of people out on the trails enjoying the cooler morning air. As I pedaled up behind this woman who was power walking I was guessing a young female.

I was quite surprised as I passed her to see that she is probably much closer to my age!  Good for her!

I continued to putter around on the bike, slowly, but moving.  I managed to eek out 19 slow miles. I note that the total is just over 9 times the miles I rode all last month.  :-(
