beautiful warm day today... But since I only get one day at home this weekend, not much time. Also severely lacking sleep. Also too many things to get done before my flight tomorrow.

Anyway, enough excuses. My blood was boiling today over some personal issues, so as soon as I had a free moment, I grabbed the bike and went to Valley Forge park. I was hoping since it was around dinner time the park would be empty, but no such luck. Wound up doing 6 1/4 miles, something like 12mph I guess (didn't check). I was planning to do more, but I got hit in the eye by a bug, and it got stuck there. luckily I was close to the jeep, so I went home and washed it out.

I did much better with the moderate hills today, and stamina seemed better. Don't know if this is due to practice, or the rage I was dealing with.

Anyway, the rage is passing. The eye is washed clean. And at least I got some saddle time.
