I have a locker at work to keep stuff in. Usually, I try to keep up to two weeks worth of clothes there, but I usually wind up having to pull the trailer in at least once a week, so that's when I do the laundry shuffle.

Before I got the trailer I had to on drive in on those days.
Incidentally, today was a trailer day. When I left this morning it was 59 F, variable 2 mph winds, heavy overcast and light rain. 66 F, winds out of the ENE at 7 mph and heavy overcast on the way home this afternoon. Normally when I have the trailer chasing the bike I get a lot more attention than without it. Well, the trailer gets a lot of attention. A lot of, "WTF is
that?" looks, with some, "What a
great idea!" looks. Well, today a horn blew two lanes over. A
BIG truck air horn,
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAANH, so of course I instinctively look over. A white 4-door sedan of gawkers came real close to getting creamed by a dump truck. Of course the dump truck driver could have been a gawker too, which may have accounted for the close call.
I'm sure it's the trailer they look at. It sure ain't my physique.
Edit-Oh yeah, tonight my computer is showing 94.3 miles, tomorrow I will easily break triple digits for the week.

May not mean much, it's just a goal of mine to get over 100 miles a week. Blew it week before last by not checking the computer when I got home Friday afternoon. Didn't notice until that night while filling out my log that I had 97.4. Wish I'd noticed, a short detour would have broken 100.
