Cubs game last night was good. Not too chilly, Cubs won, only missed the first 2 innings, got some beers and hot dogs and nachos with some friends. Good times. Always nice to be able to walk there and not have to worry about getting there. Also walked down Fremont afterwards, and it was surprisingly quiet. So that satisfies one of my worries about possibly living on that street. Had some ice cream when I got home, watched How I Met Your Mother before bedtime. Riding in today was hard, partly because of the wind and partly because it's my 3rd time after a long hiatus (about 4 months, 18 days). Also interested in the Urbanathlon, since I'm already doing Muddy Buddy, figure why not something else? Maybe give me something to actually get in shape for. Still need to fix the bike creaking. And since everyone passes me, makes me wonder if something's not right on the bike, and I'm not as efficient as I could me. Also makes me wonder what it might be like on a normal chain drive bike, and if I'd be any faster. Oh well. I'll keep cruising along and watch people pass me by. I'm in no hurry.
