Last night was bike polo. Fun times. We had 7 people and ended up stacking the teams appropriately to play 4 on 3. It worked out decently, but things were still out of balance. The last game ended early when Thad and I had a (mostly) minor collision that caused a piece on his brake lever to break. His night was over and the rest of us called it. That last game seemed kind of extraneous anyway. I may be able to speak for everyone that it was just good to get out and hang out with the guys and ride our bikes some and drink some beers. I had more personal crashes than usual, mostly in in the later part of the night. I think my slight inebriation was causing me to take more chances than earlier in the evening. Quitting when we did was probably a good thing. I am a little achy and soar today.

Tonight is hot chicken and 40s night. We are planning to return to Bolton's, our favorite spot so far. After a couple of less than satisfying hot chicken nights, we need to revitalize on the good stuff. Last time was all about chemical burns and unedible chicken. You can follow along here.

Hoping to ride to work or home or something tomorrow. It's been a couple weeks since i have gotten a real ride in. Not that commuting to work about 20 miles is very real, but at least it is somewhat sustained. I need to get back on it with TransIowa on the horizon. Speaking of which, my entry finally got there and I am in. Now I just have to train. (That comment was thrown in there for Thad's amusement.)
