Hang in there... hang in there. Soon as I get my squatters out you can move in to my house :-)

I rode to church... then grabbed plastic sheeting and some bricks and went over to my house to spread it over the creeping charlie invasion (bricks down low in the bags made for that "gravity juju" and fun travel). Then out to the show and go on the red bike goin' fast as I could... figured that would give me a good workout, YES. Then we charged into the 15 mph winds to St. Boniface and came back... and my green friend had called and met me out there and we spent a mile pickin' up cans and figuring out logistics for working that into rides.
Then pushed a *bit* on the ride back home to put the orange cast-iron pump handle (I *think*) that I'd picked up with the cans, since I knew it didn't weigh any more than the bricks, on top of that plastic sheet. Then reasonably fast ride out to Panera wishing I had taken the folder because dang it, them potholes hadn't moved since earlier in the day. THen back home - but pausing at the burned out house where there was a crowd gathered... and JOhn from the bike hsop was there and told me it was "site specific dance" (and he said they'd scrubbed the carpets all day at the LBS so I should say something to FPTRNT about them :P Sioux likes that it is assumed we will talk :-) ) and some people asked about the Xtra and there were like 8 bikes parked around by the time I left.
49.79 miles (But I was already out later enough than expected so I didn't do 50 ).
