Riding today.

I can't remember exactly what I wanted this post to be about because I lost my train (or trek, with no cycling pun intended) of thought when I went on MapQuest to try figuring out my exact trip distance. Since the bike I am riding right now is listed for sale on eBay (check it out http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=170330475635 ) and Craigslist, I decided not to put on the cyclocompurer which would normally calculate my distance for me.

Funny: I was riding on Rhorer today and they have horses. Since I just scaled a huge hill I was getting a drink from my water bottle, but the horses distracted me so right as I reached to put the bottle back in the cage slip-it-goes onto the road and rolls down into the ditch. Of course I get off my bike (and the horses are watching me, I'm sure they'd be laughing if they knew what was happening) and walk to retreive my bottle. Just then an older cyclist rides past me, laughing, and says, "That's what I call groundwater." I just laughed, too. Apparently he was behind me the whole time (he saw me struggle up that hill, ugh, and saw me totally throw my bottle).

Okay this is a picture of my bike from eBay, and I don't know if it'll still be here when the listing goes down. Please pray that the darn thing would sell already so I can buy a bike that fits me. I'm really tired of having a sore neck from the fact that it's too small and the handlebars are too far down.
