RACE!

Today I had the smart idea for Chloe and I to race up to mont saint-martin. It is steep (10% avg), which usually favors runners, but we decided to handicap her since after all I'm on a friggin bike! We looked up our best times, started chloe off 10 minutes before me, and then… chloe beat her best time by three minutes. I, on the other hand posted my third best time. So I got taken to school, but it was pretty fun anyway, even if I never saw her on the way up. I like the concept though -- we'll have to get more runner/cyclist friends/coworkers involved next time.
