A bike ride in numbers:

mileage: 8
time: 90 minutes (including a couple of breaks and a phone call [while stopped, of course] with Jeff)
number of times I reflected on the fact that getting to coast downhill a lot means eventually having to peddle uphill a lot: 3
number of times I almost blew chunks because of the uphills: 2
numbers of times I got lost: 1
number of lakes I passed while lost: 1
number of times I reflected on the fact that being able to walk for miles and miles and being able to swim for a good long time does not mean that one is in shape for riding a bike, especially uphill: continuously
number of drivers mentally referred to as dumbasses: 2
number of pedestrians mentally referred to as dumbasses: 1 (twice)
fun had: no numerical value found, but high
