    I took Friday and Saturday off of the bike.  Friday was on purpose.  I wanted a day off of the bike as I was planning on riding both Saturday and Sunday.  But Saturday when I woke up nobody had RSVP'd to my DSSF ride and the internets were saying something about 30 mph winds.  So I elected to stay in and watch TV all day.  To make up for it I ate as if it was a ride day.  Mr. Chris dropped off Sofi and Tonisha about 10:30 to much excitement.  Mimi hates them, but she hates them less than she hates Rufus so it isn't so bad.  Everybody was exhausted from all the playing/hating by noon and the dogs spent the rest of the day napping.

    Sunday I was a bit more active.  I had my Lifecycle training ride.  The pospeds were all on their annual Russian River retreat so Buz and I had to run it all by ourselves.  I was a little disappointed with the turnout.  We only had about 50 riders and I'd expect so many more at this point in the season.  I hope they're riding on Satudays.  We had lunch at a place called High Tech Burrito.  I didn't have high hopes for it and it was about as good as I thought it was gonna be.  Their guacamole was only OK and the burritos were kind of mushy.  Definitely better than Grilly's but it was no Whale of a Deli.  The guy taking orders was the hotness and partially made up for the mediocrity of their food. 

    This is Buz stretching:

    Jen and Sandra.  Sandra and I go way back to my first year of training ride leading.  She isn't riding this year because she's busy brewing a baby friend:

    The pond at the Cheese Factory.  Geese! 

    On the way home we ran into Ben at Cheese Factory who was midway through some extra human length freakshow ride:

    We ran into Courtney, Monica, and Nick twice!  First in Petaluma and then they passed us in Nicasio.  Always a treat!:

    The back of the house:

    I made it home at 7PM.  Given that I left the house at 5:30 that made it a fucking long day.  Mr. Poe had my dinner all ready and I was more than a little hungry.  Afterwards I got cleaned up and Mr. Chris came and collected the girls.  Mr. Poe and I were in bed by 8:30 and asleep soon after.  It was a wonderful day!
