How far have I fallen...

I rode my bike home from work today (our local bus system has racks on the front of their buses so that people can bike 'n' ride; probably one of the most progressive things about Peoria; I used that to get to work). According to Mapquest, it's 3.2 miles. I was going to go further on, to the local comics shop and back, but I was just too damn exhausted.

I used to go on 100 mile bike rides.

I got me some catching up to do.

A couple of years, at least.

Well, there you go. It'll just take some time. :) I think you're awesome for doing any biking at all!

This is Bike to Work Week, and I just laugh, because it's about 17 miles from my house to my work for one thing, for another thing I don't *have* a bike, and for a third, I'm woefully out of shape.

I did a 34-mile-round-trip (17 each way) bicycle commute once, for five weeks, when I had a temp job in Tulsa, in the middle of summer. No way would I be able to do that now.
