Day 104 - Big Ring

Went out for a ride on my mountain bike after work to relieve some stress. Was going to do some laps around the school but changed my mind. Decided to ride to a convenience store to rent some movies from a Redbox machine. Loaded up my Camelback and took off. Rode down Conway Road heading north into a slight headwind. Shifted to the big ring and pushed the highest gear that I could while maintaining a good cadence. Made it to the Stripes convenience store on the corner of Conway and Highway 107 in about 20 minutes. Rented two movies and bought a bottle of wine and a 24 oz. beer for after the ride. (The wine was for my wife). Saddled back up on my mountain bike and started the ride back. The wind was with me so I was able to max out my gears part of the way back. It was just getting dark when I rolled into my driveway. I popped open my cold beer and celebrated my ride. Prost!
