Back on the saddle...

Hey guys,
Its been a while. Well today I braved the weather, my odd mood, and a general funk. Toodling around the neighborhood, I did about 6.5 miles in a half hour. Not too bad I guess. Now to get on it and do more tomorrow...

Oh yes, almost forgot. Today's impressions:
-Teenage neighbors down the block were having a jam session in the garage. Not bad for surf rock.
-A 5 year old boy sucking a lollipop looking unsettlingly like Napoleon Bonaparte.
-Someone driving a 1952 Chevrolet torpedo back.
-And a Trojan Magnum wrapper right by the oil wells. How romantic.

Makeup post.

So on the 20th I did a Team LB event. Unfortunately the only photo from that is on a roll of C-41 film I've not sent in yet. It was 36 miles, with a headwind fighting me from Newport Beach all the way to Alamitos Bay. So strenuous.

It was one of those moments where I wondered if I can manage the real ride. And I'd have never gotten through it without prayer... and red Gatorade.
