It's pretty nice down here today! Temperature around 61F, breezy, dry and clear. It wasn't quite so nice early this morning before the cool brisk North wind blew the last of the grey clouds away. Joe F. and I did what is becoming a pretty routine Monday morning ride where I pull at a steady but easy pace on the way out, and then we ride back mostly side-by-side talking. We ran into Luke and Richard on the way back and they turned around and rode in with us. We were all a little bit surprised not to see more riders out this morning because Sunday had been so inhospitable riding-wise.
The bike computer is begging for a new battery and this morning I really couldn't read it at all. It was kind of wierd riding without the speedometer and trying to keep an even pace. Not that it was all that hard to do, it's just that I kept looking down to check my speed and coming up blank. Afterwards, when I took it off and brought it upstairs so I could write down the battery type, the display was much darker. So what's that about?? Anyway, I guess I'll probably go get a new battery anyway.
I see that Tim Reagan (Herring Gas) was 36th at Pace Bend, so I guess the Herring boys had a hard race while the Mercy guys got their guy across the line first. Must have been one tough race. Jason Sager has a few comments about it on his blog.
Beth (from D.C.) sent a nice thank-you e-mail when she returned home yesterday. I think stories of Robin's legendary tire-fixing services have now expanded to include the greater D.C. area! Right now, there's a collegiate rider coming in from Penn State who we're trying to fix up with a bike. Of course, he's coming in for Spring Break, so it will be interesting to see if he is able to get to any of the early morning rides after spending the typical collegiate night in the French Quarter. I should probably offer to give him a wake-up call.
