Transportation Time Machine

When Paul told me he was going to ride his bike down to Portland, I thought I had been transported back in time to before we had things like planes, trains, and automobiles. Then I realized that it was still 2010 and Paul actually wanted to do it. For fun.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a nice bike ride, say along the beach. But this is over 200 miles! AND he wanted to do it in one day. Bonkers.

He did it though, with his brother Danny by his side. (Maybe it runs in the family?) They completed the 210 mile ride all on ONE DAY, in less than 14 hours. I think he actually enjoyed it too as he returned the next day in great spirits and not too sore, considering. I kept telling him I thought the whole thing was nuts but just between you and I, I also think it's kinda sexy. (Just as long as he doesn't try to get me to ride a bike that far!)
