More the bomb than ever before

I may have led you to believe recently that I was, in fact, the bomb. And this may very well have been true at the time. But I tell you that now, more than ever, do I not only claim, but rightfully own the title of The Bomb.

Today I managed to bike all the way to the end of the trail and back and still make it up the dreaded Hill at the End.

I simply refused to fail, for over eight miles.

Mari, Kelly, and Brooke were with me. It was a really nice day, not too hot, and since we rode later in the evening the sun wasn't really bright either. Most of the trail is shaded by beautiful trees, but in some places you come out into the light--today, those times were perfectly fine, as the sun didn't so much beat down on us as just kind of bask us in its glow. The perfect weather for exercise.

I didn't go particularly fast, but I wasn't a slowpoke, either; sometimes I was towards the end but a few times I was leader of the pack. I did stop for water--lots of water--but the breaks were short and rejuvenating, and for the most part it was me getting on the bike and pulling out first.

I guess today I just really felt like riding.
