6/30

I had an action packed weekend. Friday was just an average evening. I had a good bike ride home and prepared for the group ride on Saturday. Debbie and I decided to go to the ride together so I had to be up extra early to make to her house on time. The ride itself was a good one. We rode 20 miles around the Chesterland area and I have to admit that I haven't rode my bicycle on hills like those in 20 years. The bike is working just fine but I suspect I'll eventually have to replace the rear wheel. It wobbles slightly from where I broke the spoke. I don't notice it much on the way to and from work because the road is so bumpy but on a flat road it gets annoying. It's nice to get to ride and get to know some of the people on the team. I was extremely proud of everyone.

Saturday afternoon I went to a friend's house who's been selling candy for me and dropped off another box to her. It was nice to see her and her husband. They were putting up their pool. I need to go over there more often this summer! :) Exciting news! Tammy, one of our team members who happens to be battling cancer was cleared to ride with us! We're all excited.

I was a little bummed on Sunday morning. I hadn't finished anything I wanted to at my house so i started early. I managed to do some laundry, then I pulled the jungle of weeds out of my "flower" garden in the rain. The weather cleared up later in the day so I mowed the lawn. Managed to get my clothes on the clothesline dry. I even managed to take care of some weeds and de-bug my vegetable garden. Now I just need to finish cleaning the rest of my house! Not really that much left to do!

Had an uneventful ride to work this morning. I actually caught a couple hour window to dodge the raindrops on the way in. I fear I won't have such luck for the ride home. No matter. Today is supposed to be a 10 mile hill ride. We'll see what the weather is like after work. If I feel good I'll probably hit the park in Garfield Heights again. I may just ride up and down the hills to get my work in.
