Ride 2 Work Monday

Today marked my first bike ride into the office this year. I only had to put some air in the tires, and the old LeMond was ready to roll. Temps. were a bit on the chilly side, but it still felt great to leave the car behind for a day. Last year I put just shy of 1,000 miles on the commuter, and I didn't start up until early June. Starting this early in the spring, I'm hoping to maybe double that number this season. In other riding news: I'll be ready to go for the first WNR of the season this week @ Headquarters. I'll plan on starting at 6:00 (unless someone is firmly committed to coming and can't make it until 6:30, in which case let me know and we'll wait for you). I'm not sure if all the singletrack will be rideable, but I'm sure we'll be able to piece together a good hour loop in the neighborhood. Speaking of the neighborhood, ours is apparently going to heck a hand basket. To make a long story short, Sarah and I are going to have to start locking our doors. While I was gone on my trip, some a**hole entered our home without permission and stole a rather substantial amount of money from us. I've lived in this house for over ten years now, and I've never once felt that I had to lock the doors. All that changes today when I get home from work and install a new doorknob with a lock. It is my sincere hope that whomever robbed us suffers severe misery and pain for the rest of their days on earth. That is all. Over and out.
