TGIMFF

It has been a long week...

I only rode for fun once this week, and I hesitate to use the term "fun." This was Monday. There was a termite hatch Monday afternoon because the little bastards were everywhere. I couldn't find my sunglasses so I rode without. This is how I discovered the termites. They all tried to get in my eyes. They stuck themselves to my crotch and the sleeves of my shirt. They hit me in the chest. I may or may not have eaten a couple, but it was hard to tell since I was busy avoiding cars. Three near misses in a mile and a half to start the ride. Then the rain came. I originally intended to do a quick ride to Riverside, but when it started raining I decided that the odds were stacked against me. Too many bad omens. So, instead, I rode the hills in the neighborhood behind my house. Intervals for wusses, short but steep climbs. I think I was only on the bike for 45 minutes...

It'll be better today, I'm going to hit up Lincoln Woods.

Congratulations, by the way, to Mike and Anna on the birth of their son last Saturday...
