1,319 miles is my yearly total so far. Although I had 2 months
unemployment during the wintry months of February & March. This lead
to not as many miles riding as I should/wanted to have ridden. Mostly I
felt like posting this because I bought a scale today. A cheap 6
dollar scale, not sure if it is a 100% accurate. I tipped in at 207
lbs. That's 3 lbs lighter than last year about this time, and also the
last time I stepped on a scale. I feel like I am in much better shape.
With the weather warming in to the summer digits here in st louis. I
guess I want to try to keep track of how I am affect by the heat and
biking through it. So it could be considered narcissistic to post my
weight, however I have not been under 200 lbs. since I guess 2003. So
maybe its more of a humiliation and pressure to shed more beefiness from
myself.

These are the only pics I took during the Susan g Komen "race" that took
place on Saturday 6.21.2008. It was an interesting event this was my
first time participating. This was the largest race in the country for
the second year running, they was a guesstimated 66,000 participants,
when I get the real number I will post, maybe. And the event raised
over 3.3 million dollars for breast cancer research.

Its getting to be really warm now and wearing my backpack leaves my back
sweaty and gross. So to not be a grossy gross. I picked up a couple of
things at R.E.I. The explorer disk rack & the mtx trunkbag dxp both by topeak.
Installing the rack was a breeze. As for how it rides. More on that
later.

I have been meaning to post these pics for several days. Was a
beautiful day for riding, just need to take more pictures when I'm
riding. 10 miles for work, 8 hours on my feet @ work, then 44 miles for
fun. Found a sweet bridge and the on road transfer from chain of rocks
to the mct confluence trail. I stopped 10 miles south of alton IL. Once
I dork up and get a proper cycling kit I'll ride to pere marquette state
park in grafton IL. 57 miles one way, 114 miles round trip.

St louis's finest. When they are not blowing stop signs or red lights.
They are hitting patio furniture at starbucks.
