Winning and road race, tully's and making warm bread (not quite toast)
Tuesday night I went to the OCC's TNTS race, in hopes of bringing home the offered 750ml of ommegang. The course wasn't super hilly, so I knew that I stood a chance. After a hilly 10 miles to the course, we did four 8-mile laps, the first one being a "warm up". Long story short, we rode really hard and fast and I hung in till the end and beat the olds guys to the line in sprint. But, since I wasn't 21, I won socks. But hey, I'll take it!! It only cost $1 to enter the race...
Wednesday night Del, Dknick and I went to Tully's after playing basketball at the park, and the 1/2 off after 9 is a good deal. Sarah and Lindz both came and met us there eventually and it was fun. I was just excited that I didn't have to wake up for work the next morning.
And today, I spent a whole bunch of time hooking up the toaster, and even more pedaling the freaking thing. I took some video to attempt a v-blog which, I will put up when I get home. I'm writing this on Del's MacBook right now haha. Sadly, however I was not able to burn any bread although I did get hopeful when I first got to pedaling and smelled toast, but not that much was really getting toasted...some heat was definitely produced!
Video Blog
This is my first test V-Blog, and is all about my bike generator/toaster. Using a v-blog may actually save me time, but uploading this one took literally an hour so idk, that's too long to do it on the road next summer, which was where I thought it might be the most useful when I can't type an essay every night. Here it is:
