Although there was no ride today for me, the day nonetheless started early with meetings pretty much back-to-back from 7:30 a.m. until after 3:00, and then a trip out to the airport followed by a long an traffic-laden drive back downtown. I spent the day with our grants consultant in meetings with various faculty members. Although somethimes tedious, I still find it really interesting and refreshing. By 6:30 I was drinking wine and by 7:30 we were at Iris restaurant with a couple of the neighbors (spicy gaspacho and scallops!). So there was no chance to drive up to Monroe today, but by 9 p.m. I had made the last minute decision to drive up there early in the morning to make the Twin City Challenge road race. Although I feel pretty out of shape and won't likely do too well, it is probably going to be my last race of the season. Damn, it feels like just yesterday I was lining up for a novice race in City Park. I'll have to be on the road around 4:30 a.m. or so in order to make it there in time for the 11:00 start. After the race I'll probably just hop back in the car and drive back rather than hang around for the time trial Sunday morning.
Maybe I'll bring my aero bars along just in case, though.
