Hi, guys, I'm still alive. My work hours lately have been long and unpredictable; riding my bike in has been a lifesaver -- I know, no matter how the day goes, that I'll get at least *some* exercise in, even if it is just 20 miles, split into two rides. Unfortunately, a project I'm on has been requiring me to make a lot of trips to DC for meetings, so I can't ride in on those days. But the light at the end of that particular tunnel is rapidly approaching, YAY!

Not too long ago, I finally put the Airborne up on the stand and gave it a thorough cleaning -- I had been doing the "la la la la, fingers in the ears" thing about how filthy it was getting, so when I finally took a close look, I was truly horrified!! Poor bike. So, of course, the next day, the roads were still wet, and I didn't want to take it out -- I rode the 520 instead!

I was always kind of obsessive about logging miles (and various other metrics) of virtually every ride I did, but since about late last summer, I've just been meandering around as I feel like it -- sometimes I didn't even put the computer on the bike! But maybe now, in honor of the impending warm weather or something, I'll start tracking things again.
