Midweek Morning

Some cooler air slipped in overnight leaving in its wake a relatively cool and dry midweek morning. While it may be a little too early to get comfortable with the idea of Fall weather, it was a welcome reminder that, sooner or later, things will be cooling down both literally and figuratively. And so I rode out to the levee in the dark thinking of hot coffee and arm-warmers and knowing full well that it would be 80 degrees by 10 am.

The Wednesday morning ride was smooth and steady as usual with riders taking longish pulls at the front as the rest of the riders patiently awaited their turns in the crosswind. By the time we were heading back I was already debating whether to stop at Zotz or wait until I was on my way to work and stop at Starbucks. Decisions, decisions, decisions. I ultimately decided upon the latter, if for no other reason than that I'd stopped at Zotz the day before. There's something about cool weather that makes me want to hang out at coffee shops.

The work day was fairly busy and then shortly after I got home an email came from the Six Gap photography folks informing me that my photos were ready. I'm impressed. I figure they must have taken something like 10,000 photos that day and then had to sort through them all to read the helmet numbers and tag each one. I wonder if they have software that can find and read the numbers automatically and add them to the index. In a way, I wish they hadn't come out so good since the cheapest package for a single photo isn't cheap!
