Rode directly into work today. Very quiet on the streets of Sactown since it's the Sunday of a three-day weekend here in the States. I hope we won't have to work tomorrow. If not, I'll take a long ride up to Folsom and back.

Caloso, it could happen anywhere I realize, but Sacto was very, very bad to me yesterday.
My family was there over the weekend for my daughter's basketball tourney. I left my hotel yesterday at 5:30am to do a long run along the American River Trail. I looked forward to the run b/c I had heard good things about the Trail.
I parked at the Watt Ave lot, went 3 miles west and back, planning to replenish at the "mothership" (our van) and to continue the other 3 miles east and back, for 12 in total. When I got back to the van I found that someone had bashed in the drivers side window and took off with my daughter's purse and our camera. Luckily, my road bike (crammed inside the van) was left untouched and they didn't have time to rummage around my exercise bag to find my wallet.
The ride home yesterday was very loud with road noise.
I like Sacto a lot and the trail was actually very nice. It's just unfortunate that these things occur.
