Real Life: The highlight of this last week and a half was the 33 miles of riding on March 21st. It was a nice little Saturday in Chicago, so Mo and I rode up to Evanston with some friends for lunch and then rode around the city a bit as well.  Total annual mileage: 767 miles (29.8 miles behind target pace).
