Today's bike ride:

8.1 miles

31 minutes.

First 4 miles: 18 minutes (13.3 mph)

Last 4 miles: 13 minutes (18.46 mph)

Average mph: 15.67 mph

Negative Split! First time ever over that distance. (A special thanks goes out to that rich, Boathouse Row douchebag who wanted to race me. You inspired me to average 21.2 mph over the last mile and a half to whip your ass. And you thought I was letting you stay ahead of me because you were faster. HA.)

Rock on.

So I took a little tumble out on Kelly Drive yesterday... Not a big deal, but I kinda fucked up 4th and 5th gear on New Hotness... Very angry... Going to see how rideable it is this morning... Have to get it fixed tomorrow... Damn it all.

New hotness got an upgrade (already). Aerobars for sprinting, and long distance riding at speed. Looks almost kind of badass:

Some of you are familiar with New Hotness:



Well, New Hotness and I are registered for our first ride, the 12th Annual Scenic Schuylkill Century, 25 miler on Saturday September 13.  Pretty awesome, I'm totally stoked. More excited, however, for this ride.

I'll be putting up a fundraising link soon, and would greatly appreciate your support.  My dad has lived with MS for most of his adult life, and the things he has to go through everyday can't even compare with what it will take to push my fat ass 150 miles.
