There wasn't any riding for me yesterday, although Christian stopped by yesterday to lend me his Giant TCR, which is probably a nicer bike than my own. I dropped the saddle down a couple of inches, screwed in my Look pedals, and should be good for a nice little ride tomorrow morning on the Rock Creek bike path. I hope it's not too cold.
It's about 1:45 a.m. right now and I just got back from the hospitality suite where I had volunteered to help out tonight. I was very hospitable, of course, and didn't leave until the bitter end. It was pretty nice, particularly after 11 p.m. or so when the rifraff finally went to sleep and the five or six survivors were left in peace. By midnight the hotel bartender had left, but not before leaving some wine and beer on ice for those of us who were still going. There was a lot of discussion about some woman in an apartment directly across from the Hilton Hotel, where the conference is being held, who has apparently been strolling around naked. I'm guessing that she realizes there's a hotel next door.
Anyway, I wish I had more time to ride, but I guess I'll just be able to squeeze in an hour or so around sunrise before I have to get back to the conference. Still, it's a lot better than nothing, and the weather should be pretty reasonable, so I'm looking forward to it.
