Wow!! My summer is really starting to get away from me. I have gotten much busier than I would like to be. But there is just so much to do! It is like my grandfather said, "The labor is great, but the workers are few." (He didn't make that up by the way. It is a common saying.)

I did ride today though. I went to Hooper and back. That is eleven miles each way. It took me 47 minutes there and 40 minutes back. To make it to Hastings I would have to ride for 12 hours at that pace. I don't know if I can do it. But I am not giving up..
