Whad'ya do with the extra light today?
This is the first work day for the M-F set that had extra light after work.
I took the opportunity to climb Eagle Peak in Clayton during a hilly 25 miles.
Where did you spend the extra hour?

Well, today was my day off. But I had to go anyway to finish up something important 
. I got out at noon and went for 12 repeats at Cantelow. 6000' of climbing in 42 miles. I'm not one for repeats normally, but I need hills!
Amazing views of the Sierras today

I went out to Bay Front park and tied my camera to a kite string and lofted it a hundred feet up to take some aerial shots. Then the string broke. I recovered the kite but not the camera

You're a madman! I'm planning on 4 today and that seems like a lot. Now I feel like a slacker. Thanks, Ryan. *grumbles and resigns self to extra A/T work*

I got an early 15 mile ride in, then kept my appointment w/ the gym for an hours worth of upper body core workout. Walked out as the sun was setting.
Woo hoo. Let the late afternoon rides begin.

Doing the Dremel Thing on an aluminum BB shim. I was wearing glasses, too - but not full wrap-around safety glasses.
The funny thing was that I didn't immediately realize it. I did the grinding on Friday night, and woke up Saturday with a nagging irritation in my right eye. Rode Saturday, rode Sunday, and the irritation never went away. By Monday it was a (minor) dull ache, so I made the call and went in. The doc numbed the eyeball up, picked out the little fleck of debris, and I was good to go.
All better now.
