Only rain and hip pain could have shortened my BRAG Spring Tune Up weekend, and it was the former that did so. Friday’s 69 mile ride was brutal, in part due to two nonexistent rest stops, and I because suffered some saddle sores and foot pain; I believe the saddle sores arose from the wetness in which we rode which lessened the effectiveness of the chamois cream I used. Saturday’s 48 miles were tough, but a beer and wings stop forty miles in provided some recuperation. I saw Sunday’s weather forecast and decided to pack up everything Saturday night and sleep in the M6 so I could be there for Bob’s Breakfast Sandwiches yesterday morning. That plan ended at about 1:30am when I woke up as it started raining and watched two cars leave. At that time I knew my sleep would be horrible, and the roads would most likely be open, so I drove home.
Overall the trip was a hoot. There was much beer consumption and laughter. Let the mental and physical preparation for Big BRAG begin!
The combination of arriving home around 2:30am and a cold, dank, wet day meant that I did very little yesterday except for emptying the car and putting away camping gear.
Hooray, this morning I finally was able to set up my bank accounts so I can electronically transfer money between them. Whew, this needed to happen soon. Now I need to figure out how I can replace the $20/month earnings I lost last week when Crowdtap unceremoniously cancelled my account.
I am using this cool morning to bake a breakfast casserole.
