So, Brooke and I drove up to St. Charles, MO today to go biking on the Katy Trail, in preparation for our trip this summer.? For those who don’t know (or don’t remember…), we’re planning on making a “vacation” out of biking the entirety of the Katy Trail, ~265 mi from end-to-end, starting near Sedalia, MO and ending in St. Charles.? So yeah, we went biking today ’cause a). the weather was gorgeous, and b). we hadn’t gotten to use Brooke’s new bike for an extended period yet, so it was about time to take ‘er out for a spin.
Anyway, we started at 1:20ish…got done around 4:20ish, so we spent about 3 hours…and biked for 30+ miles…and damn, does it hurt.? We weren’t really planning to go that far on our first outing this year (and I haven’t done a 30 mile-er since 2002…), but it was one of those “oh, we aren’t tired yet, so we’ll just keep going” situations…of course, just after we turned around, we were tired…and our butts hurt…
Regardless, it was a good trip and well-worth the pain to enjoy some good weather.? Needless to say, however, we’ve got some work to do before biking 265 miles…? 😛
Using my newfound Scottish vocabulary….You’re both just a couple of jessies!!
265 miles is a lot man….and you’re real old….and bald. i don’t know if you can do it

If you can make it up that mountain, you can bike 265 miles. that is all.
“No, really Andy…we’re almost there!”
…bastard…
Andy –
Jennifer and I have the same idea for late this fall or next spring – good luck!
Just so you know, your Indian Jones quote on your quote page is not from Temple of Doom. It’s from The Last Crusade….shut up, I was bored.
at least one of those times we actually were almost there!
