Riding partners: Jim Mahaney
Thought(s) of the day: Generally felt good on the bike today but Jim was really tired today. Never seen him so tired on the bike. He was reduced to a mere mortal today. Beautiful weather for a ride. This ride took my mileage beyond last years total. Playing to ride as much as possible between now and the end of October, so I may end up around 1500.
