I think I plan on doing 28 miles tomorrow. I've had a rough week, and my foot and leg keeps swelling where I most recently had knee surgery. I think it was because I was just on my feet too much for Halloween, but I'm fat and lazy, and tired.
I'm assuaging my guilt with the fact that you get anti-lazy points when you voluntarily bike 28 miles. Mister is planning on riding to win the donut thing. He is planning on attempting to eat 24 donuts. HA! He will never want another donut again.
This morning he's at a Heart Walk, and I'm being lazy. Drinking coffee. Plotting world domination. Possibly cleaning some of our house that is in ruins.
I need to see if Mister wants to do NovemberFest. I want to do it. My friend Joel says it is the best and prettiest ride. I would like to attempt the 44 mile ride.

Moonlight Ramble -- Tour de Donut
Me and 1500 of Houston's fine cycling denizens went out at 2am on Sat night (ok Sun morning). It was a pretty cold ride. There were a lotta folks out there not used to riding in packs. I'm not great at pack riding myself-- but I'm alright at screeching "slowing" and "stopping" appropriately. Note to you Memorial Loop folks-- uhhh it would help if you'd do it too. I was almost in a pile up on the Ramble and tonight on the Loop.
I don't wanna be in a pile up. I have enough troubles without borrowing more.
Mister and I signed up for the Sun and Ski Sports MS 150 team. I was surprised no one from the Metro bike team signed up (besides us). There are some perks to the Sun and Ski thing, so I'm hoping we'll get good support. I'm aalso hoping we can fundraise money for it. We've each committed to raising $500/each.
Sunday is the Tour de Donut . http://www.tourdedonut.com/ There is a 28 mile race that Mister is doing. For each donut he consumes, it knocks 5 minutes off his time. He can, conceivably, finish before he starts. There is also a 55 mile route. I'm not racing. I am torn on whether or not I want to attempt the 55 mile ride or not.
The farthest I've gone is maybe 30 miles in a day. I'm averaging 12.5mph-- which is still slower than I want to be. I have no idea if this route is going to be hilly or not. I'm afraid I'll do the 55 mile route, get 30 miles and then use the SAG Wagon.
I've still got a few days to think about it. I know Mister will finish wayyyyyyyy before me. He will have to patiently wait in the parking lot for me to finish.
