Good job Hobbs.

I try to do 20 on the weekends and I ride 45 minutes or so 2 or 3 times during the week to keep in shape.  20 is a nice little trek, so I know 5x that must've been a little tiring.

I know having your Dad with you made it much more fun.  You should thank God or whomever/whatever you believe in for having a Dad that spends time like that with you.  I had a Dad like that, but there are millions of kids that don't have that luxury.  You should go home and give your old man a big man-to-man bear hug and tell him you appreciate him spending time with you doing something you love to do.  As a father who spends time with his children all the time now, I know how priceless it is to the father as well.  It still can be a challenge for busy fathers to make the time, no matter how much they want to do stuff with their kids, so just let him know that it meant a lot to you.  He probably already knows, but it can't hurt to remind him.

Riding alone is sometimes tough on the soul.  Other times, being alone is just what the doctor ordered to help you sort through your thoughts. 

We have the MS150 here every spring and I think I'm going to attempt it next year.

Again, congratulations and keep it up.
