Back to work in a "real job"

Well, I was very fortunate and landed a job back in the telecom industry. I am site manager for data network upgrades on military installations.

All jobs have there negative aspects and their positives,

Negatives

100% travel - out 3 weeks, back home for 3-4 days
living in a hotel can be a lonely existence
hard to eat well

Positives

Its a real job with real pay. Will be able to get the savings brought back up to an acceptable level
Enough per diem to actually make a couple bucks pocket money
They get you back home on their dime
company vehicle with 100% paid fuel for business and personal while on the job.

Now how does this fit into cycling you ask??? Well, my first location is at Volk Field, Wisconsin. I am 25 miles from Elroy, Wisconsin. I will be picking up my bike next weekend and will be riding the Elroy-Sparta, "The 400", and Omaha in the next few weeks. (If my hip holds up)
