Well it's been a long time since I've gotten to sit and blog my important thoughts. I'm married now and a honest to God homeowner! We leave for the honeymoon in 2 days and I can't wait! I'm much more in synch with myself and the stress level has finally abated.

So today I was biking along on my Dahon in St. Cloud MN, minding my own business when my right shoe started feeling squishy like I had stepped on some gum. Strange, since I hadn't stepped off the pedal in a few miles for me to suddenly have gum on my shoe. Then I noticed looking at the pedal that there was light showing through places where light had not been before. I stopped to inspect this and had the whole pedal fell apart! So 12 miles into my planned 30 mile ride I had to turn around and ride back to the hotel with a nub for my right foot to push on. This after discovering a front flat before I even got to ride today. Just not a good day to bike I guess. The 96F should have been my 1st clue. I guess the little plastic Dahon pedals aren't meant to get beyond the 1000 miles that my bike is at right now. I'll have to find something more solid because if that happened going up a hill it would have been a very bad day.
