More base miles

Today was beautiful. Well, not really but for PA in March it wasn't half bad. Rich keeps telling me about these base miles I need to get in. I rode 45 more base miles today, actually 44.94 if you want to get technical. It was a really nice ride. I tried my new camelbak and hated it. It felt like it was cutting off your breathing the whole time you were wearing it and drinking was also difficult. It is impossible to breathe while sucking water out of this thing and breathing is sort of important when riding a bike. It's probably going back. The only reason I might keep it is to use as a backpack when on the bike. It was nice and aero and once loosened up didn't affect breathing other than when drinking.
