This morning's ride was little more than I bargained for. It was a nice ride in, dry, warm and, a nice following wind, I left late but made great time. Upon arriving at work my wife called, she had locked the keys in the car and couldn't find the spare. I saved her the hassle of coming downtown to get my keys and decided to ride back home to help her out. So, I humped it home into, what was now a pretty good headwind, and let her into the car. Since I rarely eat anything before my morning ride and, I knew it would be a 30 mile morning for me, I guzzled some water and a gatorade gel pack. I saw her and my son off and jumped back on the bike for another ride in. I also worried that I'd lost my shades on the way home, however, they were waiting for me at my desk on my return. Athough today will have been a good workout (40 total miles once I arrive at home this afternoon) I need to make sure that we either find the spare car key or, replace it asap. Luckily, things are really slow at work so, nobody missed me this morning.
