One cold night last night!

Yesterday I asked Luke if he wanted to go for a night ride. "Yeah let's do it he said". Fast forward... it's 9:06pm and Luke hasn't called to confirm. I'm glad about this, as it is much colder than I anticipated and my front derailleur is frozen in one position from my prior weekend riding. Just as I am going to settle into the season premier of Lost my phone rings, "Hey dude, I'm in the car"...well now I can't bail...arggh.

I'm glad I rode but it was cold. We rode the standard loop and since I couldn't shift out of my middle ring into my granny gear (easiest and smallest front chainring) I had no choice but to kill this hill that has been my nemesis on my last few rides. So that felt good.

As we loaded up the bikes we talked about how neither of us would have been out riding if it wasn't for each other. It's some kind of maschositic codependence. I think I first learned this principle on my highschool crew team. If you skipped a 5:30am practice you let down seven other people (plus a coxswain).

Oh and Matt K started a Here For The Swag Team Blog, back in April that I forgot about. He is averaging one post a year, but maybe we can increase that this year? What do you say Matt?

I'm off the bike tonight, my legs were kind of tired after last night. I'm gonna try to squeeze in a night time W&OD ride tomorrow since it will be 52 degrees.
