Record-Setting Day (update)

Yes, I convinced my amazing wife (who is stronger than she knows) to go back out and ride 5 more miles for a total of 115 miles—now we have the same record. I’m so proud of her, but of course I tried to cajole, trick, and convince her to ride just five more miles. Why you ask? Isn’t 115 far enough? What are you, a crazy man on a mountain bike? Well, yes, actually, I am; and I had another completely reasonable (well, I think it’s reasonable) reason for wanting 120 miles: I thought of a fantastic Facebook status—you’re going to love it. Here it is: 1 day. 2 people. 0 brains. 120 miles. Clever, right? Well, my fantastic wife didn’t think that was a good enough reason to ride five more miles…Perhaps she was right, but I was ready to ride five more miles. (Truth be told, I was ready to ride 35 more miles to set our record at 150 miles; but that’s a secret between you and me.)
