This morning was awesome. My buddy and I are trying to reestablish our early morning training rides on the American River Bike Trail. Pre-fatherhood we would meet 4 times a week at 6:30am to ride a 20 mile out-and-back. He's on a 10am-8pm schedule so he'd ride home for breakfast. I have to be at the office by 8, so I'd just ride into work. We're going to try and do this 2x a week, with our wives' blessing of course.

Anyway, it's just a pleasure to be out there chatting with a good friend about politics, our kids, bikes, movies, whatever. Might rain this afternoon so I rode the commuter while he rode his beautiful new Bianchi.
