Benbrook Lake

Today is our last day here at Benbrook Lake.  Tomorrow we leave for (and arrive at) Wichita Falls, Texas.  I'm really looking forward to being at Wichita Falls, not only because I anticipate doing well with sales at Sheppard AFB, but because I've seen some nice pictures of the bike trails there.  Wichita Falls is host to the Hotter-N-Hell Hundred, a hundred mile bike race, every year and the looks of the trails system indicate that this is an excellent place to ride.

I haven't been getting as much riding done recently as I would like.  My longest ride in the last few weeks has been just over 16 miles and I am hoping I can get back up to at least 20 miles three days out of four like I was riding last year, with at least one 30+ ride in the next month.
 
 I'll be seeing my doctor for a yearly exam in January and I want to be down a few pounds by then.  We saw the doc in Oct and for some reason I gained 10 pounds in the two weeks before that visit.  I don't think she believed that I'd gained it that rapidly, so I want to show her that at least  I can take it off.

Glenda' side pain has been diagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome.  I told her that I was suffering from irritable spouse syndrome.  She wasn't pleased with that comment.  Go figure!  In any case, it was a relief to find that it's not something life threatening (or even requires surgery).  And she's starting to feel better. 
 
 I'll be back atcha when we get to Wichita Falls.
