Seeing as how I have a bike race on Saturday, I probably should have gone for a short ride but I chose to go to the gym with Andy instead. I feel like I need to support his recent conversion to caring about fitness.

First bike race in the books. This was a 45 mile (actually 44 point something) out and back course with 2000 feet of climbing. Although I did 3 minutes faster on the way back, I have much to learn about bike racing, pacing, what kind of pain I can tolerate etc. Still, I passed 5 people on the return and nobody passed me.

Man does this sport skew old! Guys from their 40s to 70s abounded. I suppose because it's expensive and easier on your body?

I really enjoyed this and was actually sad when the race ended. I'll be back.

In other news... Jack Daniels died yesterday at 92.
