Stayed home from work today to celebrate the last day of my kids summer vacation. I have been promising and promising and promising to go to a water park with her and things just kept getting in the way. So this morning I looked at the weather and decided that today was the day.
Little did we know that almost all the parks have started closing up during the week, since most public schools are back in session.
But we found one near the house, although it didn't open until 4pm. That left me time for a quick ride between games of Crazy 8's and Clue Jr. Just a quick run today though. An uneventful, beautiful Chicago day.
I seriously need to go try some new routes though. I've started shopping for roof racks for the Subaru. Lots of paths in the area to try. Paved and unpaved, so that Moab is going to have to come down off the hooks and get cleaned up too.

Just over a year ago, at 41 years old, I decided to venture into the hobby of road biking. A good friend, who has quickly become a biking mentor of sorts, suggested that I keep an on line diary of my trials and tribulations. So I started noting them here. However I reserve the right to jot down any other nonsense that might spring from my subconcious.

A man told his grandson: "A terrible fight is going on inside me -- a fight between two wolves. One is evil, and represents hate, anger, arrogance, intolerance, and superiority . The other is good, and represents joy, peace, love, tolerance, understanding, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, and compassion. This same fight is going on inside you, inside every other person too." The grandson then asked: "Which wolf will win?"
The old man replied simply: "The one you feed." Anon
