I was rather overdressed for this morning's affair on the levee. The skies looked overcast, at least as far as I could tell at 6 a.m., so I figured I'd go with two jerseys and arm-warmers since it might be foggy and/or raining. As it turned out, it was neither and with nine or ten riders in the group the pace was brisk but not brutal. Ronnie was lobbying for an early turnaround, but I think almost everybody ended up doing the whole ride except Luke who apparently flatted right when we started out and Courtley who got held up coming across the lake because they were "caravanning." The causeway police will do that when it gets really foggy, although she said that it didn't look foggy at all to her. Anyway, it was a pretty typical and uneventful 44 mile morning ride. Some slightly cooler air is on its way and I'm expecting to see some rain around here this afternoon when it arrives.
In the meantime, we're trying to wrap up the LAMBRA racing calendar, which means I will be harassing various promoters, with escalating frequency, until I have solid dates and event information from them. Wish me luck...
The best quote I've seen so far on Jefferson's re-election came from a political analyst at the University of New Orleans: “We've just re-elected the least-effective member of the House of Representatives.” All those people who didn't bother to vote this time need to be horse-whipped.
