early

after a frustrating day at work yesterday i decided to leave early and take a long ride home. i rode down to campus and then home via the sw commuter trail. i wasn't 'training' just riding but end up getting a pretty good workout. my gearing is near perfect and i'm really enjoying the simplicity. it was nice to just ride and look around and feel the world around me. wrapped it up with some decaf coffee when i got home. bonus is i got an 1:40 minutes of ride time yesterday.

we had a nice night as a family with dinner at chipotle and then some shopping at rei. cal got a great pair of boots for a steal. and i used a gift card to buy a down vest that had been marked down to $30. another steal! it has been something i've really wanted to add to my outerwear but have been unwilling to spend $100 on something without sleeves.

the weekend is almost upon us. we have plans to go to a sheep farm to see some lambs on sunday. i'm hoping to get out for a few hours of road riding tomorrow as well - the weather is looking grand!

happy friday.
