Friday Party

Was good day to get out on bike, started with long about way to Sully's for a couple beers and video golf with Ron, Todd. Then headed over to Post Office for mail, on my way to A.K.'s on Westown where Conlin and the band he's in was playing around 9:30 (John's girlfriend is suppose to send me a couple photo's) stopped at Jim's on way............. His beer colder in garage was empty, threw the log a couple times for Joe (Jim's dog) had him thrash the blonde bitch (deb's dog) before riding the rest of way to A.K.'s. Left A.K.'s around midnight headed to Hy-Vee grabbed some food and headed home.................. First time this year pulled a stunt of drinking several hours, getting on bike and heading somewhere to have a couple more beers..........Out of shape

Same Ride, Different Day

Almost the same ride as Wednesday, stop at the Carney Marsh for a safety break.

Only thing that was different today was, Squirrel was riding his towny.

Squirrel stopped at Casey's on N.E. 14th grabbed a couple of 16oz, I made to trestle bridge a couple minutes behind Squirrel............ I was on auto pilot, followed my normal route, Brian was waiting on Hull & Cornell, then realized I turned onto Douglas, that's why I was right behind him getting on trestle bridge. Seen Jimmy & Carol on Urbandale trail walking dogs, and Bagger Mary on 48 & Franklin, other than that uneventful ride home.

Windy Ride

That will teach me, just had to be a smartass

Made one small comment about the world and it came up to bite me in the ass hard. Wind was out of the SSE 14mph leaving work, after meeting up with Squirrel in Carney Marsh heading towards town into nice wind, wasn't to bad going east. After the Douglas - Euclid stretch through MLK to Urbandale trail to Beaver the wind thought it would be fun to switch to SSW, plan was already in place to ride to WDM Post Office grab mail.
Tree rat with gears, never going to see him unless he stops, which we did for a safety break
Rode by Johnny C's thiought he might out on porch and offer up a beer.

Gas Prices

Have to love the demotivators @ www.despair.com they have a opposite for all the motivators companies put up, Hits my lifeIn the battle between You and the World.........

Bet on the World........
World going down

Headed to Wally-World to get some things to feast on at work.......... I won't ride all the way into work until later on........... Right now hit the bus downtown transfer to Ankeny Express, get to work around 6:45, makes for a long day............. love saving the money..... gas at $309.9 a gallon............. That SUCKS
Shirt says it all

Ride Home

Nice ride home, was going to stop for safety meeting at cemetary, it was across from a school how wrong is that.

So I stopped under the Interstate
Unadventful ride home, was tired needed a couple of safety breaks.........

Legs need to get back in the swing of riding.

Had to try this add map routes from rides, review your rides download from GPS or map out rides yourself.

Chilly ride in this morning

March 10th

Made it................ Finally got the bike out, loaded up the grocery bag headed for the bus stop @ Valley West Mall, bus was there around 5:45am 20 minutes later downtown to change to the Ankeny express, 6:45 @ work. One hour and fifteen minutes later than when driving.

Saved a couple dollars not having to buy gas which was $295.9 today as went by a couple of stations. Still wondering how the State is going to come back and bite me in the ass for saving a couple bucks or how they are going to add a special tax for riding a bus or bike.

Tired of the cold

Wanted to get out on bike, ride into work this morning.......

Just getting tired of being cooped up, no reasion I can't ride in the cold it's just I don't like taken the time to add all those extra clothes for cold weather riding

Have everything I need for cold weather riding except the will power to get out and do it...... March 3rd bike coming out of the backyard, riding atleast 3 days a week.
