6, Seis, VI, you get the idea...

The great thing about the weekend is that it's your time.  Do with it as you please.  Albeit the weather we like spring during the week and is now once again full on winter, it's one of 52 weekends of the year.  Enjoy it regardless of the weather.  Today, I am grateful for:
  • The cold.  It makes the challenge of catching the RBM group even more fun.  Couple that with the fact that the road construction detour caught me by total surprise, it was an all out race to catch the group.  I found two stragglers on Warren and decided maybe to take the last couple of miles easy.
  • Not getting run over on the way home from RBM.  The humidity came in around 11 and the temp seemed to drop.  Starving and tired, I decided to make my hour trip home a 20 minute trip home.  But this mean about a 1k sprint down 121 to catch a residential street to take me home.  Glad to have a little left for the sprint.
  • The Shimano 540s that made the 1k sprint doable.  Thanks again Danny.
  • Food. Food. Food.  I made a batch of apple cinnamon and then blueberry pancakes.  Nearly ate them all - and some eggs.  Ride to eat;  eat to ride.
  • Working out with Kristina.  After some food and a shower, I was ready to accompany K to gym.  I love how it makes us feel when we work out together; plus it's funny to watch the gym rats watching her at how tough she is and how hot she looks not trying to look hot!
  • Yeah, more food.  I ordered up two plates at LaMadelline's: Omelette and a Coute Monsieur.  I ate it all.
  • A relaxing night at home.  Not every Saturday night has to be dress-up and go out.
  • The magic of contrast therapy - the legs definitely needed it!
  • You.
