Bad news is I am on call this weekend, which makes riding a problem.
Good news is I got a partner to cover my call for 3 hours tomorrow morning so I can ride!
Bad news is she can only cover 6AM-9AM so I will have to get up extra early to ride. I will have to put some butter on my pillow tonight so I can get up oily in the morning.
