paul's bike log, part 1

just to let you know, for those interested, paul's decided to be a biker, and he wanted me to post about it so he'll feel guilty if he gives up (okay, i really don't think he's going to give up, i think he just wants to show off, and i kinda think he's earning the right too :) anyways, he's been biking to and from school since august, usually riding the bus part of the time, but averaging 6-15 miles a day on his bike. he's also been upping his miles for the last few months, and yesterday he did his first race. it took him 5 hours (that is a LONG time on a bike, if you ask me!) but he went 100 km (roughly 60 miles)! he felt great after the race, but he's been sore last night and today. i guess he earned that too. he's getting ready to do a big race in august called hotter than hell, 100 miles in the heat of the summer--NOT my idea of fun, but his advisor is a biker too, and he's encouraging paul to join in too, so at least he'll have someone to commiserate with :)
