He's a Biking Fool

Ken enjoys biking in the summertime. He's always gone on long bike rides, but the last couple of weeks, he's really pushed himself beyond his furthest previous limits. He gets up early on Saturday mornings and rides before it gets too hot(though it's still in the high 80's). The picture above is of him with his mountain bike. The last couple of weeks, he's ridden his road bike- last week 54 miles, and today, 61.85 miles. He did the Gunlock/Veyo loop. He's a biking fool. Last week, he did it on water alone, but this week I insisted he take gatorade and some calorie chews. He did great, though he's a little sore. We won't talk about where! I'm proud of my biking fool!
The proof on his biking odometer:

He's already making plans for next week's even longer ride. I'm hoping summer ends before he does!

GO DAD!!! That's right. He's MY Daddy-O. That is pretty darn impressive. Brian wants to know if you are training for a Century Ride - 100 miles. You could totally do it.

Way to go Dad! I am super impressed! And yes, I'd agree that he's a biking fool. ;)

Holy cow, Ken! He did an even longer ride than the one you told us about when we went to "Music Man". I am in awe of his endurance and stamina! Just one more proof of how amazing he is!
