It was 40 degrees this morning when I left my house at 5 am. It felt like summer. To bad I was heading to work.

I think the biggest one was 6 or 7 inches long. They can deliver a nasty bite/sting.

Gonna try and ride for a slice today. Still very wind here but the ride start is 20 miles southeast and in the shadow of the mountains which usually provide wind free cycling.

For some reason, the dishwasher in the office kitchen is running. There is nothing in it.

My friend raced CX for a few years and won the California/Nevada championship for her cat once. She has incredible bike handling and can fly down a technical mtb trail better than most of the guys out there.

Way back a long time ago, I traveled to Iowa City for a CX race and placed third in the Cat 1-2 class but since I was over 35 at the time, I was also given1st in the Masters category. Unbeknownst to me, it was the Iowa State Championships so I got a 3rd place medal in the 1-2 championship and a 1st place trophy for Masters. Not bad for an Illinoisan.

I bought a pair of Castelli bibs one time and couldn't begin to pull them up. Had to sell them.
I did have a Castelli wool jersey way back when wool stuff was what we had and it was pretty nice.

We had Castelli team kit, until about five years ago. Size large race-cut jersey fit okay (I could zip it without busting a seam). The bibs were very comfortable.
