I may take the new bike out for a shakedown cruise this afternoon. Gonna be kinda warm, but what the hell? Nobody lives forever, right? I don't have a spare set of Looks for it, though, so it'll be sneakers and flats.

My club has a century tomorrow with 9000 feet but it's going to be 103 again. I think I'll do the shorter ride which goes west to a cooler area.

Daughter's softball team is playing in a Nationals qualifying tournament, which will have us on the road about the time the sun is rising tomorrow morning. If things go well, I won't get on the bike at all this weekend. If things go poorly, I'll be doing a moderate-paced group ride on Sunday morning. The last couple of weeks have been packed with her softball activities, and my bike mileage is WAY down. About half of that riding time has been on my singlespeed MTB. I don't go very far or very fast on that thing, but it sure is a ton of fun. Meanwhile, the kid is getting some serious interest from a few colleges. I'm extremely proud of this girl for the dedicated hard work she has put into her game over the last 8 years to become a powerful force on the field, on both sides of the ball. It's looking promising that she can leverage her softball skills into getting her college education paid for (or at least mostly paid for).
Here's a taste of my girl doing some of her favorite things...

Edit: I have never posted my own video. I don’t even know how to! Can it be done directly like a pic or do you need to have it on YouTube??
