500 Miles

So, this is my 100th post. I had heard somewhere that a blogger should list 100 things about himself (in my case) in his 100th post. I started the list some time ago with the intention of fleshing out the stories of each thing, but never added the details, and when I started today it became overwhelming and would have been far too long. So, without clarification, here are 100 (more or less) things about Kevin's biking history. If you have questions or want to hear the stories behind any of these, comment, email me, call me, or just talk to me. I'm always glad to talk about this stuff.
