Today...in numbers

As I was on my ride today there were a lot of numbers in my head so I decided to write them all down just to clear my head, if nothing else! 

0: Times we got lost (for those that know me, this is a huge accomplishment as of late)

1: Time Tracy almost got crushed by a car

1: Time Tracy almost got attacked by a monster bug

1: Time we saw someone holding a bike helmet on their handlebars but NOT wearing it (her blonde locks did look beautiful in a Farrah Fawcett kind of way)

2: Stories about bodily functions

3: Live animals that crossed in front of me (8-point buck, snake, and, of course, a squirrel)

3.5: Crazy hard-core triathlete chicks on a hilly SUFFERFEST ride (see below for 0.5)

4: Roads with "town" or "ville" in their name

5+: Times Tracy asked people to please wear helmets on the trail.

10.4: Percent grade of biggest hill

18: Miles Renee got to ride with us (the 0.5 of a chick above)

25: Minutes late starting our ride

30: Dollars I had to pay my son for babysitting

32: Ounces of purchased drinks along the way (Gatorade & Coke)

42: Tracy's highest MPH speed for the day (you probably don't want to know the lowest! Maybe 2! LOL)

73: Miles rode

700: Roadkill (okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration...or not) 

4653: Feet of elevation

But, the best part of my day was doing this.....

Sufferfest September is in the books!
