Today I pulled the kiddo in the trailer behind the Giant. We rode to Crystal Lake South HS and saw the cheerleaders practicing and the football players getting ready to head over to the football field for tonight's varsity game. The fresh/soph team was already on the field and they were winning 34-6 when we biked past the grandstands. (sidenote: I'm excited about the start of College football season!) Lots of people were out and about on the streets and sidewalks leading towards CLS and you could hear the marching band playing several blocks away. Of course when we return home tonight we'll be able to see the bright lights of the football field shining in the distance, as we're pretty close to CLS, as the crow flies. Streets here, however, don't go straight. Its like they say... all roads lead home, but none of them are straight. Or something like that.
Today was also Intern John's last day at Motorola. We think. In any event, we'll continue to train for the Harmon Hundred. He says he won't ride if it rains, but I'm thinking I already plopped down $15 for this ride and $10 for the shirt, so I'm gonna have to ride rain or shine... just for the principle of it. Let's hope for good weather. Also of note is the fact that today I talked to HR and it turns out that Intern John is not an intern. In fact, he never has been. He's a contractor. Strange but true. I think we have the OTHER John to thank for that. YOu know, the OTHER John who doesn't own a bike.
Plans are in the works for a Labor Day Cookout. Lets see if Intern John can bicycle the 60+ miles to my house or if he shows up in a car. :)
Total distance: 5.83 mi, ride time 45 mins, avg speed: 7.77 mph
