A beautiful bike and children-free weekend came to an abrupt halt this morning when the alarm went off at 4:15am.  Time to make the doughnuts.

Headed over to Whitefish Bay for an easy 23 mile ride with 4 other guys.  I wasn’t sure how far or what the pace would be, since I’ve only done the faster, more heavily attended Tues and Thursday routes.  It was actually the perfect remedy for a weekend spent sleeping late and drinking beer.  Felt good to be back on track again.  The 7% grade hill climb at the end made me realize just how “off” I was.

Looks like a Spokesmen ride tomorrow in Tosa, work schedule may prohibit the North Shore ride.
