LOST
Saturday, April 26th 2008
One of my greatest fears on one of the weekend group rides is that I will get lost.So this morning we head for Seattle. I was feeling pretty good up until about 15 minutes before time to leave when I started getting nervous, "What if I get lost?" For some reason I don't worry much any more about crashing. But lost scares me. I couldn't navigate my way out of a wet paper bag at the bottom of a river. So by the time I get there I'm literally shaking. I must stop this WEENIENESS! Ru...

I am SO proud of my ride today! I am generally a fair weather cyclist. Riding in the rain scares me, but of course I have to deal with the fact that I live in the rain capital of the world. So this morning Roy dropped Dulcy (the bike) and I off at work. He has a lock-in until midnight tonight with his students, and the easiest way was for me to cycle home. After all, the snow wasn't supposed to start until TOMORROW. By noon is was snowing up a STORM. (Heh. Yeah.) So I called him, "Uh. It's ...My Week

Overall I had a great week. Monday was Monday...and well, what can you say about Monday except it's Monday. It was my first day back from Spring Break. This school year my breaks have pretty much sucked. Winter break I had surgery and that was a complete washout. Pain pain pain the entire break. Spring break? Roy's was a different week from mine so instead of traveling or spending the week together, I was alone and it felt a lot like when I was home on sick leave. I did get out and "do"...
