OK for a Monday

There's a south wind blowing the humidity in from the Gulf of Mexico, but this morning there was still a remnant of coolness as four of us rode up the river on the levee bike path. The light but strengthening breeze made the ride out to the turnaround feel easy, and that was perfectly OK for a Monday. After a fairly decent amount of riding over the weekend, my legs felt pretty good, probably thanks to the fact that I hit the sack rather early last night. That, in turn, was probably related to the three glasses of wine I'd just had at my father's house. Let me tell you, you just haven't lived until you've given your own father a bath! I hightly recommend three glasses of wine for both parties. Anyway, the morning ride was nice and easy, as it should be, with steady conversation and school zone speeds.

So I got the results of yesterday's Time Trial up onto the website and then uploaded them to the USAC database. That was the easy part. Now I still have to update the LCCS rankings with the results of the three Giro de Rankin stages plus the time trial from yesterday. We're also hoping to put together a nice, but long overdue, club meeting some time in the next couple of weeks.

Yesterday they demolished the old Ye Olde College Inn on Carrollton Avenue. They had moved the restaurant to the building next door quite a while ago, but anyway it was kind of sad to see another local landmark bite the dust. Apparently my father and his Tulane fraternity friends used to routinely steal the LSU tiger that they had there. The new place is really quite nice and much more "upscale" than the old place was. In fact, it's upscale enough that I haven't gone there yet because there's always a crowd outside waiting to get in.

That damned head cold of mine has now successfully invaded my upper respiratory tract. I hate that. I'll probably be coughing up all sorts of stuff for the next month. Meanwhile, The Wife's over in San Diego at a meeting since Saturday, so hey, I guess I'm available for dinner! I'll bring the wine.
