ugh

I got drunk Tuesday night. Real drunk. For the first time in months and months and months. Went to a ballgame in San Diego with a couple friends (above, before the drinking really started), then closed down some bars in the Gaslamp District. Was fun, a lot of fun, but it wasn’t long into Wednesday morning that I remembered why I don’t do that very often.

I took yesterday off – and will make up that swim tomorrow – but today I got back on the bike for a ride out towards La Canada Flintridge. Because we live in West Hollywood, I normally drive to do my rides, but I decided to try riding from home today. I have to say, it sort of sucked, and getting in the car to get out of West Hollywood is worth it as long as I have the time. I did a there-and-back of about 30 miles and the first 10 or so miles out were in steady traffic with regular stoplights. It wasn’t until I got through Glendale that the roads were clear. At that point, I did a nice climb up Chevy Chase Drive and then turned around. It was nice to have a two hour ride take just two hours (instead of adding time for the drive), but in the future I’ll do the driving.

I’m getting excited for racing this weekend at Bonelli. More on that later!
