Getting closer...33 days away

My uncle notified me that this blog has been neglected as of late...thanks, John.

So here we go...

Had some outpatient surgery in early April that had me unable to ride for 5-6 weeks. Terrible! Love that time of year! Was able to keep active with some running. Back on the bike a few weeks ago. Been commuting to work...12 miles one way typically and occasionally will do longer rides going to or coming from the office in Tempe.

Getting hot! Been really nice the past couple weeks and I can just feel the heat that's right around the corner. Nooooo...

We start in Council Bluffs, the location of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, completed in September 2008. Very cool nighttime shot can be found here.

Not a lot to report...just wishing that the airline would stop changing my itinerary for flying out there...bad enough that I have a layover in Minneapolis in both directions. Not that Minneapolis isn't a great city or anything...

Getting some interest generated with different members of my family...both sides! Family team next year? Anyone?

Please forward me your home addresses so I can get postcards out to everyone. Thanks.

Lastly...pay attention when cycling. Don't be an idiot like this guy that one of my coworkers encountered on his way to work this AM...note the green light my coworker has and how the rider looks away while on the phone...
