I've had a good amount of work this week, which is nice for making money, but bad for riding bikes.
Sunday: LICX numero uno. See race report.
Saturday: No riding. I went into the city to eat lots of barbecue and watch "A Prarie Home Companion". It was also santacon, so I had the delightful opportunity to ride from penn to ronkonkoma with a ton of drunk santas.
Friday: I wanted to do the kreb ride, but I almost slept in instead. I was able to roll out of bed an hour after I wanted and got out the door by 8:15 for the 9am start. It takes a little over an hour to get to the ride, so I decided to cut up through yaphank and try to meet up with the group somewhere between there and river road. I found them just coming through the railroad trestle on river, so I turned around and joined up. There was a triathlete riding with the group who shredded his rear derailer turning from bartlett to 25. Par for the course, I suppose. The second time around bartlett, I tried to stay on JoeZ's wheel, which was very difficult and eventually I let a gap form that I tried to bridge the rest of the way to the next wait up. We had some good fast pacing along 101, including my attempt at motorpacing a truck for a little. After the ride, we stopped at the deli, which is always nice, then I rode to Patchogue with the Tom that I always forget the last name of. By the time I got to Ronkonkoma, I really had to piss, but thanks to the massive drug problems in the area, every out-of-the-way-wooded-area had a police car in it. Really. It happened three times. I stopped by Kristie and Haley, used their bathroom, chatted for a bit, headed off, rode to long beach to get some extra time in, and finally got home.

Thursday: Work again. No riding.
Wednesday: Bike day. I went out with a goal of riding out to Jamesport. I followed a loose rendition of Percy's RP2IPBPJP ride between ridge and jamesport, where I stopped for coffee. The way back, I found a cool rusted pair of pliers, which I rode home with. I really hoped to bring my ride up to 5 hours, but by 4:55 I was completely tired of dicking around the neighborhood.
