50 miles(not a detour)

I just finished a couple of hours ago. 50 miles on the bike. Now that's a ride. I wanted to ride faster, but being the official "Scoutmaster", the leader, I had to sit back and make sure everyone finished. We had one boy drop out at 15 miles. Too much couch potatoe this summer. 4 made it, including the T-Man. I felt good. Could have rode another 10 or 15. Getting in condition really helped. Losing weight has really helped.

So now I'm enjoying a beer. I deserve it and besides I figured out that the bike ride burned between 2000 and 2500 calories. I can spare a few tonight.

Down 5 lbs more this week. Riding has helped. The diet has been going good. Drinking diet pop at Mug Club, while not my first choice, was a big boost. I wore a pair of size 40" pants to work this week. First time in 2 years. That felt great.

Now if I just could get that butt cheek massage I'll be all set.
