Nuttin'

Not much going on this week other than work, which is driving us all crazy. Stupid rules have now been established - first they banned Crocs because of the holes in them, and now we're not allowed to have drinks or food in our work area. This really sucks as most days if we get time to eat it's like 10 minutes. Typically we eat while we work. If we want a drink of water or a snack we have to go to our break room which amounts to little more than a walk in closet. Whatever! We have figured out a nice hiding spot for our drinks, but you still feel like an adolescent sneaking off to drink alcohol. HA!

Other than work, I've been to the gym twice this week - both times were very rewarding and reinforced to me how much I really enjoy going. I did ride twice this week. Both times on Mill Mountain. Monday was an unexpected surprise as I had the day off to run errands post PA-trip. My errands included the DMV for a new license. This was the shock of the day as I got in and out of there in 15 minutes. I then rode Tuesday after work, but that ride got cut short because I got cold in the wind. BRRRRR. The weather really took a change huh? Oh well, I'll adjust to it soon enough - I have now located my cooler weather bike clothes and I have a new pair of Gore Windstopper gloves to try. Not sure they are entirely needed yet.

I'm glad tomorrow is Friday. Even with that, I've got a ton of stuff to do here still. I'm not sure what I'll be doing Saturday as they are calling for 2 inches of rain between Friday night and Saturday. I was planning to go campaign for Obama some more, and probably will. Especially since there is a new satellite office near my house. Sunday, I'm hoping to go for a long ride ride with my buddy Tim. 50 miles is the goal and I think the plan is to ride out Bradshaw Rd. If I ride from home and meet up with him at Hanging Rock, I could end up with nearly 60 miles. I believe this weekend is the anniversary of my first attempt at 50 miles last year. I know it was the same weekend as the Folklife Festival at Ferrum College.

Anyway, I plan to take my camera along for the ride Sunday to document some of the scenery. Not sure I'll blog again until after that, so you'll have to enjoy this post for now. Have fun everyone! Good luck to those who are racing the Rowdy Dawg on Sunday. I'm just done with racing this year. Don't have the competitive spirit to go race, hence the leisurely road ride. =)
