Biker Ben is Biking Again

This has been a horrible summer of biking for me. It has never really been the same after my pedal fell off.

Then I almost died.

So I have not been on a bike for two months. Mostly for financial reasons...and the fact I like to sit on a couch. Today I checked when the capitol city century is.

HOLY CRAP....it's so soon!
It's in just 20 days!

After seeing several Sally Pants blogs and photos it has me inspired to get out and get on the bike.

Friday I bought new pedals...a new on ride on bike pump...a new inner tube....
Today I had to go back and grab new cleats. This biking thing is making me broke.

I then proceeded to do a 25 mile ride on the Wabash and Interurban trails to Chatham. This after not being on a bike in forever.....and having the worst soar throat...I don't care....20 days!!!!

However best part is I have to work on the day of the ride.....Personal day?

1) @Biker Ben: Do it. I just participated in a 45-mile ride in southwest suburban Yorkville on Saturday. Sort of wished I registered for the 62-mile route.

2) Do it Ben! I'll be out there too. Not sure if I'm doing the 62 or 100 route. Will prolly depend on wind. But yes, this is why personal days were invented.

3) I hope your boss isn't reading this. You'd better be nice to me or I'm tattling on you.
