Last night was a race against the death cloud that had formed by in the part of town where the house is. I could see the line of hail falling. I hauled the whole way and beat the madness home. Just got a rained on a little bit was all. The hail and fury hit 5 minutes after I arrived. Thank goodness for dopler radar on the web.. i could see it coming and bailed from work.

Ride in this morning was nice. Left the house at 6am so it wasnt too warm yet. Got pumped off by some oldster climbing the hill, but I was in cruise to work mode so I really didn't care... too much. Maybe I did, since I'm writing about it.

If I ride every day this week, I will hit 1,000 commuting miles for this year when I pull into the office. I expect that they will have a band and maybe some balloons when I arrive. I'll have to wear a clean jersey that day for the photographs.
