12.9 miles

It was a good day today. All seemed to flow well in the plant with Terry out for training. Lisa called me from Milgard to congratulate me on the progress with Simi. I had a great conversation with the VP of Operations. What amazes me about the whole process is the consistent response from all with whom I have spoken with concerning the direction of the company. I like it. I hope to be part of it soon.

I was so excited after the phone conversation that I went for a ride. Just a good 12.9 miles around the Babcock horn. I average above 17 MPH. It amazes me that only a bit over a year ago, I was averaging 13 to 14 MPH on the same route. It would be nice to raise the MPH another 2 to 3 MPH in the next year as well. We will see. I did two supersets after the ride as well. It felt good. I have been looking at the next year and I have found several century and double century rides in the next year to ride as well. There is one through Death Valley that looks cool. It is in October so I should be more than ready to ride it. We will see what else I will ride. I wonder what my bike thinks about when I am not riding it? Things that make you go hmmm.....
