that's a lot of books!!!

i was meant to go camping and biking on the new river trail in virginia this past weekend, but it looked like it was probably going to rain a lot of the time, so i stayed home. friday we went to a friend's jam party. i went in the house to use the toilet, and every dog ran at me barking. one nipped me pretty bad in the thigh, but i can't blame the dog since i didn't have an escort with me and kinda assumed it would be okay to pop in and use the bathroom, oops.

saturday was a lazy day, which i haven't had in a really long time. we ended up staying in and watching the first few episodes of fallout. didn't want to be out late anywho because i did end up making plans for sunday...

rode the train to the next town over (about a 30 minute ride) on sunday morning, then biked back for a good 50 miles! still felt pretty good by the end of it, which is a good sign for the impending ~430 mile ride at the end of july. i've nearly biked more this year to date than i did all of last year. 😅

we went and saw the new apes movie (kingdom of the planet of the apes), and it was by far better than all the first three combined. more likable characters, better writing, and better acting. to be fair, i went in with very low expectations, but i think you could skip the first three, just watch this one, and it would be a decent movie.

not much in dog news. i did have a private lesson with a new trainer, and she was great! she sent me a detailed list of homework until i book with her again. :)

edit: also just got asked to speak at the local bike shop about bike camping next month!
