FRIDAY FRENZYY

so yesterday, i rode my bike.

i don't mean a little mosey in a park or anything like that... i biked a full 32 miles. that's right, you heard me. 32 miles.

despite soreness in my left calf and in some other areas i'd rather not mention, along with some mild psychological damage, it was a load of fun. initially, i expected the ride to be something like 10-20 miles tops, (which is still a challenge for me...) but no, we kept on going... and going...

now do understand that while 32 miles is nothing for some people, it was a huge accomplishment for me being that the longest i've ever ridden at one time was 3 miles. so yeah, pretty big deal.

the people i biked with were a really upbeat and interesting rag-tag group of UCI students. for example, there was chuck, our fearless leader who can and will, if prompted, make some pretty convincing car sounds and ride any distance on a unicycle.

so i'd recommend a ride like this if:
1. you have a few loose screws
2. have massive calves and quads (or would like to have some)
3. you are crazy
4. you enjoy meeting fun people
5. you like getting cramps
6. or all of the above all at once

and in case you were wondering, here's a map of the route!
