Rained Out Games and Ugly Mistress Morning

Looking to get in a ride yesterday, but the potential of rain (which finally came in the latter part of the day) wound up having me another rest day.

So last night my brother and I took my pop to a SGF Cardinals game. This was planned some time back as a father's day gift and had no idea at the time of purchasing tickets that is would conflict with Ian's City-Wide ball tournament; but as luck would have it Ian's ball game was postponed (until Friday evening) so I didn't have to miss it. We pigged out (way too much) up in the Redbird Roost while it rained, rained, and then poured. We were having a good time just sitting back (under the covered Roost), chatting, and watching various highlights and Lebron's 'Decision' on the jumbo-tron. The Cards finally called the game off around 8:30pm so we'll have a chance to do it again on a make-up date (tickets fully refundable for another game).



With Sac River (sight of this weekend's Omba Caramba MTB event) getting dowsed with rain last night I got out this AM on the good 'ole Polk County roads for some quality time with my Mistress. While she was more than willing the rendezvous time was miserable; it was neither warm nor cool, but with 100% humidity I was soaked with sweat from the 1:45hr jaunt. Legs felt incredibly flat early on, but rebounded to come away with a nice 20mph+ cruise.

Offers regarding the scooter-for-tubular wheelset are starting to come in, but none really of significant interest. After riding it in to work the past couple days and the boys' excitement I might start leaning toward keeping it around for a while...

Today's lunch was spent showing (me orally and him physcially) Jake how to change out a flat tire on his Rodeo. Funny (in an uneducated sad way) at times, but mostly productive. Prior to that he spent time getting familiarized to 'his' new ride...
This evening its ball in SGF (if the rain holds off) and this weekend is more of the same as it's a double-elimination three-day event. Keeping an eye on the weather and conditions regarding the mtb race on Sunday.
