The Good...I saw two deer last night on my ride home. I whistled at em and their heads popped up to look at me. Cool! :)

The Bad...While crossing Rt 1 my left pannier decided to dislodge, almost dumping me in front of traffic. :eek:

The Ugly...I freaked out a couple of roadies yesterday cuz I was singing along to the mp3 player while they were passing me. :D

...the song? Pink Houses by John Mellencamp of course.

Well, first you put your legs up in stirrups, then you take a deep breath while...nevermind, I was referring to the other cervical area, aka the neck.

Good: It's in the 70's, clear sky, and I'm taking the long way home on my bike tonight.
Bad: I have a triathlon in 1.5 weeks and I don't think I'm quite ready!
Ugly: My carpet. I just got moved into a new office and the carpet is totally revolting. Both in design aesthetics and level of wear/cleanliness. It's pretty threadbare and there are lots of big stains. It looks like someone dealt out some bloody murder in here or something. I'm trying not to look down at all.
