On a good day...


...you recognize the signs before an incident of sibling terrorism happens.

And on a really good day, that potential for hair-pulling, pencil jabbing and gadget throwing can be turned into a silly photo op:
This is on the way back from the Alabama-Georgia state line. Family met me at the Esom Hill trailhead on the Silver Comet Trail. They saw Ice Age 3 in 3d, went for a short hike, then met me at the end of my quest to answer the question of whether or not I could handle 60+ miles in one ride. (Longest ride until yesterday was 50.) Means the goal of doing a metric century this fall is reachable.

Congrats on the multi-state ride--that is quite an accomplishment. My "seat" is on fire after a 30 miler.

Thanks.

And congrats right back at you. Getting out there for a 30 miler when it's not something you've done in a while is a big deal.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I should have stated that my 30 miler was 3 years ago. But the kids will soon discover that dad is not cool and a bore and I'll have my workout time back...

Enjoyed the trail photos...
