4 years ago, I embarked on a bike ride around Utah lake with 5 of my good friends. Although it was a terribly long, terribly painful, wanted to kill myself sort of affair, there were good things that came out of it. Like the fact that my brother Josh and his wife Katie basically met on that bike ride (it was their first real date and lasted for well over 24 hours).
This last weekend, I decided to re-create it. Except this time we had maps (help prevent getting so lost), panniers to carry all of our water, good bikes, and only 3 people instead of 6. This time, I was the weakest link and by mile 60 started to get really tired. Thankfully though, it was surprisingly uneventful (no wrecks, no flats, not much rain, not much getting lost, etc). In fact, at the end Daniel was still full of energy and asked if we could do it again next week. I think though I will find some other route that has fewer cars, or at least more of a shoulder.
