Yep, I turned another year older today.  A year ago I bought myself a
mountain bike for my b-day.  I had today off, and took my bike out for a
ride.  Eastern Oregon is so beautiful this time of year with all the
wildflowers and such, and it's not too hot so I headed out there.  I did a
24 mile ride in just over 3 hours, which is outstanding for me.  But I
forgot the sunblock (as usual, right jay jay?)  Last year, my longest ride
was about 9 miles, and it took me about 3 hours...  Well, it makes me feel
good!  All this hiking and skiing and biking - I'm accomplishing things I
never knew I could.   I feel healthy!  This is going to be a great year!
