Yesterday I woke up at 4:30 am to do Bike the Drive (they close down the lake front highway to car traffic and let bikes ride almost the whole length and back - about 30 miles total, plus 5 miles getting to/from the north end and our house). Then we came home, showered, and prepped for what turned out to be an epic memorial day/housewarming party. Crazy thunderstorms cleared up just in time and tons of people came over and we grilled food and drank beer and lit up the fire pit later in the evening and roasted marshmallows.

Twice during the evening several of us ended up in the basement (where we keep our bikes and those that rode here stashed theirs) and totally geeked out about bikes. I <3 my friends.
