Yes I know these do not have much to do with one another but these are the current things going on in my life.

Online dating, the saga continues. Well I have left my profile alone for almost a week and still nothing has changed. I sent a few emails to people of interest and guess what no one responded and one profile was removed. I am guess that was because they weren’t a “real” person. I think I will let this subscription end and be done with it. I think my life would be far simpler by just enjoying my hobbies, watch some porn or go to a strip club, than the effort it takes to meet someone. I have some friends to do things with.

MTB (Mountain Bike), well I have decided to get back into riding my bike and have been going on random rides and some organized Sunday rides. The Katy Trail is a lot of fun. When I moved away 12 years ago the Katy was just opening so I more or less missed the opportunity. Well it’s in my backyard and I am glad to have the easy access to a different kind of highway. I have ridden from St.Charles east to the current of the gravel and west to just past the Page Ave. Extension (Highway 364). I have also ridden up to the 364 bridge and grabbed a geocache (my other hobby).

Well after getting reacquainted with the old bike and the joy of riding again, I have a mission. I want to ride the entire Katy Trail (225+ miles) in the March / April 09 time frame. So far my longest distance is about 11 miles and I had no issues. No pain, discomfort etc. Sure 40-50 miles a day is a lot more and I will increase my distance so I get a better feel for it, but I think I can really do this. I also think it would be a nice accomplishment to have under my belt. I have read that Missouri is working on getting the Katy Trail to Kansas City, that would be a fun ride as well.

Back to my earlier mention of geocaching, I have created a file with all of the geocaches along the Katy Trail. Some of these are in the middle of no where so it will be nice to have these done as well.

I am planning to do the trail in 4 days but leaving an extra day for issue that may come along. I have created an Excel file with all of my planning on it. It contains the equipment for my bike, things to consider taking along, county emergency numbers (Sheriff and Hospitals). I have been reading about racks and bags for my bike and am considering a trailer since Beth and I are going and the only weight on her bike will be her and water. Her recent remission of lung cancer has left her breathless quite easy and besides me being a little overweight I am in very good health.

Well if anything you read sparks a question or you would like to see my planning sheet just subscribe to the blog and ask me.

Enjoy your day and may you dreams come true!
Nite.
