Seems like it's been a long week, and I'm glad it's Friday. Although there was nobody at the pumping station meeting spot this morning, I picked up a few riders along the way and had a nice steady Friday ride. On the way out we saw this pickup truck about half-way up the levee that had obviously just been hit from behind, but we didn't see another damaged car and the police hadn't arrived yet. On the way back, the police were all over the place and we finally spotted the other car. It was in the parking lot across the street, firmly wedged into a parked Porsche and another car. Bad aim, dude!
Yesterday Norman sent me a draft flyer for the Baton Rouge "stage race" that is planned for the first weekend of June. It's actually a one-day omnium, so I suggested he should call it that. I think he just kind of slaps these flyers together without much thought and then sends them to me so I will do the work. Anyway, I made a number of suggestions, such as actually putting the correct dates on the flyer. He had sent it to Shane as well, and Shane picked up on something that I had missed. Norman was planning on putting six groups on an 8-mile loop concurrently. Ha! Totally impossible, rather dangerous, and in violation of a new USCF rule about overlapping groups. I also saw the draft race bible for the upcoming Mad Potter omnium. It looked much much better, although for the road race there was also going to be a problem with overlapping groups. I'm sure they will figure out a way to deal with that one, though.
I've got to slip out in a few minutes to look at more cars during lunch. Damn, I hate dealing with these used car salesmen!
The Daughter should be having her last classes of the semester today. She called yesterday to say that she had aced her Bio lab report. Not ordinarily a newsworthy event, but her teacher had really slammed her last one and she was having a hard time figuring out why. Apparently this particular teacher is a well-known pain in the arse, which would have been nice to know before signing up for the course.

I'm jealous! I would have loved to be riding my bike this morning instead of sitting here in this office. You must see some incredible things out on the road (if not a porsche wedged in a parking log)
