The bicycle is the perfect transducer to match man's metabolic energy to the impedance of locomotion.  Equipped with this tool, man outstrips the efficiency of not only all machines but all other animals as well.  ~Ivan Illich, Energy and Equity, 1974

I finally reached my goal of riding to Table Rock in 30 minutes! If you followed my blog a few weeks back you read of how I made it in 30:30. Yesterday I pushed myself just a little harder and made it in 29:41. Here is a link to the player if you want to check it out.

My next goal, reach the totem pole on 8th street in 40. I haven't been there this year, but I think that's possible. I'll head there on Monday and see how long it takes me. I think I can make it to the parking lot in 35; that gives me 5 minutes to make it to the totem. We'll see how it goes.
