Ultrathon Stage 2

Little did I know that the Urban Ultrathon is a staged event. Stage 2 today involved loading my bike into the moving truck, returning the truck, biking over to the YWCA to work out (yes, the ultrathon is a full body experience), hopping on a train with the bike, badly miscalculating the bus schedule to South Minneapolis, and then biking to Max's Mom's house in lieu of the bus, where I borrowed a car. From there to Max's school, hop on a school bus for a field trip to the Metrodome, hop back on and return to school, then off to a meeting, all before noon. A protest has been launched, however, about the use of my ex-wife's car. I had no idea that ultrathon rules were so rigid.

Despite the setbacks, my bike is super fit after its tune up and flat tire repair yesterday. I love it. And with gas now at $2.69 a gallon and going higher, it's about time I'm back in the game.
