I switched to Vintage Waste Systems Inc. because they gave me a pink trash can.

LuceLine West w/Hanna&Gracie: 84 minutes, 4.85 miles, 17:23/3.5, HR=107. I inadvertently left Gracie outside all night. (Too much wine? Sleep deprived?) I’m sure she didn’t mind at all and slept on her cot in the kennel or in the chair on the porch.

Early Mass. John & Rebecca joined us for dinner. We had every intention of playing Trivial Pursuit, but their game was missing the board, and when I went to retrieve mine, I discovered I don’t have one.

Tour De Tonka: 485 minutes, 97.14 miles, 12.0 mph, HR=125. We rode the first 30 miles in the rain. . Just a little disappointed that it wasn’t a nice even 100 miles. Very proud of the fact we finished, given we’ve only ridden about ten miles so far this year. My legs are sore! Sunburn [...]
