What with half day Fridays and not getting up in time for a ride before work, I decided to ride TO work. 17.6 miles each way on essentially the same route, but managed to show 1200' + elevation on the return, but only 900 something on the way in. I wonder if either is close to correct.

Feel like I've caught some kind of bug - scratchy throat and all - but I forced myself to go out for a hilly ride. Didn't push it too hard except a couple of times, and didn't venture more than 8 miles from home, but managed to collect 49 miles and 4500' (or was it 4200? Or 4800?) just riding up and down the East Hill here.

Oh, on a side note... On the way in Friday, I realized I really needed a bell, so I stopped by my old shop and had a nice chat with the proprietor, whom I hadn't seen in quite some time, even though his shop is only a couple of blocks from the office. Later, I realized I'd lost the cap from the repair kit that sits in the seat tube cage, so I stopped by the home shop, hung out while they attended to some other customers, and had a nice chat with them. Overall a very bike-y day.

The way I'm feeling, tomorrow will probably be a rest day.
