Uh oh.

I was reading the newspaper today-- something that every good citizen should do daily-- where I came upon the following nubbin:
"Riding for the first-year Toyota-United team, Haedo completed the 130.7-mile stage — longest of the tour — in 4 hours, 41 minutes, 2 seconds. That's a little more than 24 mph."
I rode everything above that century mark today-- which is to say, approximately 30+ miles-- and I did it in about two hours forty five minutes.

HO-LEE CRAP that's a lot of riding, without the century along with it. My top cruising speed is about 15 mph.

Yyyeeeah... I'll be working on that, you know, speed and agility thing.... ahem.

On the plus side, I felt pretty good upon finishing the ride and it pushed my weekly total to about 75 miles. On the not-so-plus side, this weekly total mirrors the smallest daily total for the LifeCycle -- BUT I'm not going to fret. No sir.

Baby steps.
