There was a time when I would have never believed the day would come when I could wear cycling clothes without feeling somewhat embarrassed. I mean, look at them! You look like some kind of spaceman. I was modeling myself in front of the mirror before I left this morning. There I was looking rather odd and very unsuperhero like about to go out into public. Thank goodness that cycling has received the public attention it has over the past few years. It might be more than embarrassing, it might actually be dangerous. Thanks to Lance and his ilk most folks aren't surprised by seeing grown men in Lycra. Although there was that one fellow who gawked slack jawed as we rolled by as if he had never seen anything like us. Now I have more items in my cycling wardrobe than in my work wardrobe.

These work weeks seem to pass rather quickly enough. I'd say these weekend nights don't. The time from 8pm till 12mn is SO very long...
