fug it

i ain't writing NUTTIN today...

why?

because I just read this.

And honestly can't freaking read this screen (i have a white background with black letters and old eyes and transitioning from Mike's Back Bay blog entry to this is very challenging).

I think i got the words in the right order. I don't see any red squiggles under the words. Good sign.

managed to get some extra time in this morning. hooked up with Chad on his commute from out by the cape to mystic ct and gave him fighter escort through PVD. Although less fighter and more C-141. And long range me sort of managed to figure he had the leaving town part covered once we got to the Cranston path... oops. We went way the fuck off course (aka were supposed to head west on 12 to scituate ave) and I turned around at East. Oops. Sorry Chad. But hey we got from Seekonk HS to the bike path pretty damn smooth with a good non-sketchy gatorade acquisition store in the process.

And I had a nice tempo ride, that said I probably should have had more than a bit of coffee before riding that long. Oh well. It was good.

Here's the final analysis - (fresh off the email wires):

I didn't realize we
were on the path for as long as we were. I found some stretches of
sweet dirt roads to connect me back to the route. I also found a few
stretches of bombed out hairy dirt roads, but all's well. Eight bonus
miles.

So that's 118 miles, 6hr 35m ride time. The hills in CT were not
insubstantial. There was a headwind. Not the easiest way to get from
A to B, but I picked good roads for the most part and hardly saw any
cars the whole ride. Pretty awesome.

Now we'll see if I have the energy to do the return trip...I'm pretty
cracked right now. Shower, food...must be nap time. No,
wait...meeting time.

Lucky f'n bastard! Good luck with the cracked part though... oof, meetings are hard enough pop nearly 120 miles in there and I'd need some toothpick scaffolds for the eyelids!

Nearly as good as CD's ride: Beastie Boys new album (free online - to listen to).
