You know it's really about quality and not distance.

Anyway, 12 miles, 1050'.

6188 + 12 = 6200

Yup, another 40mph wind gust day. I am doing the outdoor lawn trainer. Two hours on the riding mower to cut my parent's house's grass.

At least you didn't have to rake the cuttings.

i should have not even cut the grass. it was only some clumps here and there. at least you can see the tire tracks in the spots where the grass is dormant for the winter so it looks like someone is trying to keep the yard nice.

was 30 this morning, hopefully it warms up enough to ride this afternoon.
