My recruiter ask me if I was ready to be tested yesterday. I said I'd give it a shot.(he don't know the full about all the riding, running I do)So I did 60 pushups60situps and ran the 2 miles in 13.20!It was funny seeing the look on all thease skinny ass 17-20 year holds faces getting smoked by a 188 pound 30 year old!Some started out fast only for me to passem on the next mile!I feel all the riding I've been doing has been leading up to this.Its gonna be tough leaving all the awesome people I've met through cycling in the last 6 years.Its been a awesome ride now I m just seeing where this takes me!I've got the support of my wife and kids to help me through.Good thing about Facebook, blogs ill be able to keep in touch with all my peeps no matter where I am.Could be Germany maybe Hawaii or the armpit of the us Georgia who knows?Do blackhawks have bike racks?Hmmmmmm.....
