this is me.
this is my sense of complete and utter woe.
this is my pile of homework crap.
this is another gorgeous sunny day.

I really want to hit the trail, do the whole 22 mile thing, I've got some serious aggression and angst I want to ride out. Last time took 2.5 hours, round trip, including one or two ten minute stops. I'd be back before noon if I went now, way before noon if I high-tailed it... (I don't know what timarok is talking about, granted you could probably take the whole >nine mile trail one way a lot faster than I do, but I'm not in shape, really, but you can't do it in 20 minutes, you'd have to be biking 30 miles an hour and even when I am seriously sprinting I can only make 12 or 13 at best.) *sigh* should stay and marinate in homework related angst, but... hmm. more likely to sit still and concentrate if I'm really sore, but then I'm also more likely to be tired, and I can't afford tired/sleep right now.

Maybe I'll finish poking my notes here and go at 9. Or not.

Maybe I'll just go to look park and back. I can do that in 30 min, but there's no challenge left in that.

Hmm...

That doesn't seem right. As a runner, I used to be able to almost make it to 12 mph, and I would never dream of competing with even a slow biker. I bet you can easily do 20 mph, as long as it's not hilly.

Should take 20 mins down and 20mins back.

No way in hell. I think you're remembering wrong.

No, 14 miles on a fairly flat road takes me around 20mins even now. 10 miles on a 10 hills setting on a Lifecycle takes me 24 mins. The trail takes me 20-22 mins each way, it did the last 3 times I rode it.

Well, then. Obviously I have to stop gawking at the scenery.

I still think you're hosed, but hey, you've thrown down the gauntlet and given me a challenge. ;)
