I got in a quick 20 miles tonight.
The WSW winds made the outbound leg very nice, but the homeward bound stretch was a bit more work.
As I got close to home I noticed another biker coming the opposite direction.
He had a real weird riding style, funny clothes, and looked a bit out of place.
When he got close enough I realized it was Steve, so that examples the weirdness...
Anyway, I turned around and chatted with him for just a bit and then let him get back to his ride.
From there I turned back and headed for home.

No riding (outdoors, anyway) to speak of.
With Marie's wedding plans in full swing, Kathy and I have plenty to do. So, a few hours out on the country roads by myself are out of the question.
I did however, manage to get signed up for S.C.U.B.A.(Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) classes (go figure).
Both Justin and I completed the confined (in the Rec Center pool) dive portion last weekend. The plan was to do the open water portion together, also. But, Justin came down with a sinus infection and had to put the second weekend dives on hold.
I did make the trip over to Black River Falls, Wisc. to dive in an old taconite mine.
We did three seperate dives on Saturday, showing off our "skills". Then we only had to do one dive on Sunday to complete the entry-level Open Water Diver requirements.
Since I am typing this, you can tell I didn't drown or sink to the bottom (much)...
Floating at 30 feet below the surface was a lot of fun and once I got the hang of it, I got to play with the little sun fish that were curious.
The water was only 66 degrees, so even with wet suits you started to feel it after about 30 to 45 minutes.
Anyway, if you lose anything at the bottom of a lake (or a pool), give me a call. I might be able to help you find it...

Haven't seen too many road miles lately.
I got out with the group last Saturday, but they went easy because of their big ride planned for Sunday.
I was out for Sunday, because of the big move for Bill and Cathy.
I have also gotten out for a couple of short solo rides to help me not lose too much conditioning.
Oh well, the season is starting to wind down.
Time to hibernate.
