Okay, this is a two-for.
First, on Friday I did leg 12 of the Tour De Rook. So without further to do here are the stats: a distance of 13.90 miles at an average speed of 13.2 mph. I achieved a top speed of 27.5 mph with an actual riding time of 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 49 seconds.
There was a nasty wind blowing, which really hurt me on Highway 46/47; a slight incline for about a mile when heading east. Thanks to the various clumps of wooded acres I was hit with alternating cross winds as well as head winds. Yet, in the end, I still managed an increased average. So, I was happy.
Oh, and I stopped twice for stretching.
Second, my 6th move in the Blogger's Chess match against Jim Yeager, formally Mimus Pauly, formally of Mockingbird's Medley: Pawn to e5. I am going to force a capture as if my life depended on it. It doesn't, but I'll pretend.

How does one get in on this chess action?
You're not looking for kibitzing with this post, are you?
Seriously, I'd love to get in on this blogger chess league or what ever it is... please let me know more about it.
Well, I'm just the visiting team, but all I did was say I'd like to play a round of chess against Rook, and he said okay, let's do it. And here we are.
As for my next move... I'll go with Knight c-3 to d-5. Let's see what this leads to...
I don't know about Jim, but you can kibitz all you want. So, if he's okay with it, kibitz all you want.
As for another game, I would prefer to keep myself limited to just one game at a time. But I will be more than willing to play a game against you afterwards (if I win).
