It's a Double Expresso, Grab Life by the Handlebars Kind of Day
...or at least that's the blog entry title I was thinking about this morning as I was drinking my little double expresso on the way to work today, taking small sips and swishing some of them around in my mouth so that some of the caffeine might be absorbed through my tongue and have a quicker route to the brain and because these things are so dang small and so expensive. The double expresso was somewhat of a necessity, though, because of going to Blueberry Hill with some friends last night on a school night for darts, Blue Moon, and watching some karaoke, which all was fantastic but made for a late bedtime.
At any rate, I was pumped this morning because today is the day I must begin my training for the MS-150. A month or so ago I told colleagues at work, in an off-handed way, that I would start training on June 9th, three months before my charity ride for Multiple Sclerosis, and they did not forget. They have been updating a countdown on my door for the past two days. Groan!
Needless to say, I am less pumped now as the effects of my late night have been kicking in all afternoon. Nonetheless, in about 15 mins it's off to home and to the bike.
If you have piles of cash about and want to support a worthy cause, check out my MS 150 pledge page (HINT: the online pledge form is in the top right hand corner) or you could just email me.

Well, the first official ride of the day is in the bag. Nothing fantastic, but 16.65 miles ain't a bad start.
