pot holes and road spray






It was too good to pass up here today. 37 degrees at 7:30 am, almost 40 by ride time. we rolled out of WS starbucks and headed west. It was beautiful. All except for the fact that work has some computer upgrade over the weekend, and we had TO GO IN today for a few hours to make sure they didn't start speaking Taiwanese or something. Seriously? Sunday? and 11 am at that?? Couldn't we do 8 am or 4 pm or something besides the middle of the freaking day?
figures, the only day above freezing here in 3 months and i gotta freakin work. Someday Chase will be bought by a BIG bank and we will have an IT department to do that crap. oh well.
I did manage to get just over an hour and a half in, which was fantastic. I realize finally after 20 years + of riding a bike why spring rides are so tiring. true - it may be my lack of conditioning, but i have determined its more the fact that i lack the necessary attention span to not ride myself into one of the craters that have developed across Chicagoland over the winter. I use more energy paying attention that actually turning the pedals i think. Its my story and I'm telling it how i want to.
Hopefully we can get out once more beforre the Chickenride starts up shortly.
