a super awesome .83 ride tonight, tons of miles and good times – it seemed like everyone had a smile on their face the whole time. plus i came home with a package of grand central bolo rolls and a nalgene full of espresso chocolate, both from dumpsters. delicious!

another nice feature of tonight’s ride was the restraint on the drinking front. we had a relatively brief dinner & beer stop at stellars in georgetown, but it was a tiny thing compared to our typical bachhanalia.

i think this was a good thing for me, and i’m resolving to cut back on the drinking front a bit this week. i know that when i don’t like how i feel it’s always a bit more tempting to grab a cold pint or seven, and while i surely don’t like how i feel these days, i also know that it’s not helping anything. unfortunately, i don’t know what will help anything. i fear that some of my current ideas are not very sound.
