Well, my VW Passat made it into the body shop yesterday morning to get the driver's door fixed from the damage given to it by some mystery person while it was parked on a side street near my house. Never did find the culprit by the way. The body shop owner told me that it should only be a couple of days of work so I may actually get it back this afternoon already. The body shop is only a block away from my job so I brought my SystemSix to work yesterday and just rode home the whopping 5 miles. I know, it's pretty sad that I don't just ride to work. My ride home yesterday did get me thinking about that though. Rhea's daycare is only a couple of blocks from home so picking her up by foot or trailer would not be a problem and that really is the only excuse that I truly have, even though it is pretty weak. Today I decided to ride the Ridley in and see how it works out as a commuter bike, pretty well actually which was to be expected. So, I may try to start doing it a little more regularly I just need to get my old Bianchi back out and get it ready for commuting duty. I really could ride any of my bikes but, the Bianchi just seems like the more practical choice for most days. I still like to hop on the SystemSix, Six13, or X-Fire once in a while too. Lots of options, just the way I like it.

We had some cloud cover during the sunrise this morning and that meant that the sky was full of some pretty cool colors. Rhea walked into the kitchen, saw all of the colors on the clouds through the window, and made it pretty clear that it was all pretty cool. She was definitely in a good mood after she saw it.

Iowa Games Road Race is this coming Sunday in Boone. I may go participate in that one just for the enjoyment of having my butt handed to me. It's a non-sanctioned event so Categories are thrown out of the window on favor of age groups instead. My buddy Mike Johnson will be there as well as the Rassy's crew so odds are in favor of me going but, no promises just yet.
