Speaking of baby elephants, a veterinary friend posted this to FB.
Nandi the baby elephant excited to see her keepers in the morning. A little too excited. Sweetness.

My first day of vacation. Slept in til 5am and decided I had time to lie abed for an hour. But we haven't started packing yet, we'll have to get moving soon.
I haven't planned too much because this is a family trip, just going to keep things flexible. However I know there are several things I would like to accomplish:
1. Hot rock massage. Also pedicure.
2. Spin class, never tried it. Yoga, been neglecting it.
3. Wine, try some new ones
4. "Specialty" dining (ie the pay extra restaurants) every night. This is the only part I've already scheduled.
5. Miniature golf every day if the lines aren't crazy
6. Read my Kindle books: the Sports Gene, Hell on Two Wheels and Faster
7. Left to our own devices, we'd go sailing & snorkeling in every port. But we'll probably go with the group flow on this one.
Thats all.

Back home from meetings, home sweet home. No time to ride after work today, but looking forward to Sat/Sun rides. I hate a week of no riding. Might hit the gym tonight.
Did I miss anything?

Otherwise just the usual stuff- people rode their bikes or didn't for various reasons. People contemplated buying new things for their bikes. People posted pictures of things.
Oh yeah and @WhyFi got a new set of screwdrivers and he was reminded not to use them as chisels.
Thats all I can think of.

HP, I'm in Florida. I'm going to spin my legs today before riding with a group out of Stepford, oops, I mean the Villages, tomorrow. This will be my first ride in two weeks. Still feel weak but want to spin a few miles before joining others even if they are old people.

I like the way Specialized shoes fit and have no trouble with their road shoes but I find the cleat mounting on their mtb shoes to be too far inward allowing my feet to roll to the outside. Don't like that.

...you will fall off a fixed gear due to pedal strike while cornering and break your face. Get one of these:

Good idea on the spin before the old people group ride, I have found some old people to be really fast. You have Addiction standards to uphold now, don't embarrass us.

And 5:00 am Pacific is 8:00 am Eastern, so I think it constitutes sleeping in.

I am flying to Miami today. Have no idea what this Villages is of which you speak. But I have a semi-picture in my mind. Something to do with Florida, retired people, huge community, organized activities.
Good idea on the spin before the old people group ride, I have found some old people to be really fast. You have Addiction standards to uphold now, don't embarrass us.
