To the District

You would think I'd be tired of riding the levee, but this morning I decided to sleep just a bit later and skip the Giro Ride. Instead, I headed over to the levee where I knew I'd meet up with Tim and Charlie. We got Kevin up there too eventually, and I rode an easy 35 miles or so, with a couple of breaks while Charlie fixed his flat tires and complained about his lousy tires that happened to be the exact same ones I've been happily riding on for the last five months.

So now it's late at night, or early in the morning, depending on your relationship to Greenwich, and I've just finished packing my bag for an early morning trip to DC for a conference. As usual, I have the nagging feeling that I've forgotten something. This time I stuffed in some riding gear in case I can borrow a bike. Yesterday I downloaded the new Internet Explorer 7. They've rearranged some things as usual, and I suppose I may find a use for the tabbed windows eventually. The feature for detecting and collecting news feeds is pretty cool. Otherwise, I haven't run into anything particularly notable one way or the other.

Since my flight leaves at about 7 a.m., it will be an early morning for sure. I'm tired already.
