Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I began the night in a bed, but at 2:30 it wasn’t as cold as expected, so I returned to the hammock. On the way I had the bright idea to grab the Carharrt. It only went down to 60 and I am comfortable. Next Wed and Thu promise to be quite cold again. Vamos a ver.

I slept 10h01m but that's unusual. My sleep score was 92. Makes sense asI know I was restless.

probably the same guy I was behind that was trying to get through with a propane torch....he tried to argue he bought the torch and it was his and he should be able to carry it on.....some people are just stupid....even by my standards.....and I set the bar pretty low.

I think these sleep scores are overrated....mine usually show high 60's to high 70's showing fair. some nights it shows I sleep fair but in reality I am rested and feel I sleep good....sometimes that is while I am driving......

I found the perfect handlebar bag to hold my 40 ouncer... it is even insulated so beer should stay somewhat cold, going to run a straw and will be set.

Walked to work today in the rain like a boss. Covered the 0.92 mi in 15 min flat, including a 30s stop at a stoplight. The bottom of my pants and socks are slightly damped, but not soaked and not too bad. Used a dinky 3' diameter umbrella and my pactimo lightweight rain coat.

A close friend of ours (and co-worker of mine) is going out to dinner w Liz tonight, so I will get a ride home. Walking back through this in the dark (w more traffic) does not sound like fun.
