Thanks for taking us along, Tom! Glad you nailed the teaching interview! I bet a big part of it is getting comfortable with the kids and being able to react quickly and well to their unpredictable antics?

I drove yesterday, thinking I had to pick up my daughter after work/school, but I didn't. Lost a commute there.

I took the folder today. There was a wonderful south wind that just blew me right in. I decided to go downtown for lunch today. Again, the south wind was great. It was 83° though, so coming back against that 22-30 mph wind was a sweaty & slow affair. So today, it'll be 4 miles commuting and 5.7 over lunch.

Tomorrow will be the first Saturday bike club ride I can make in awhile, but I need to save my legs for Sunday's Midwest Gravel Championships ride, where I plan to do the metric century (63 miles) on gravel roads in central IL. So I'll charge up an eBike tonight for tomorrow's 50-60 mile ride.

'Might take an eBike Monday night too for the club ride I lead, after burning up my legs Sunday.
