Just a few photos to look at while I format and upload pictures - I have experienced zero time these past days. I'll eventually put together a cohesive blog of these trips.

Today I woke up very sore - and sleepy. I didn't actually get out of bed until noon - I even made a pot of coffee and took a hot shower @ 9am...I was still brutally sore from the Century and long ass drive home yesterday. I finally got my ass in gear and packed up a few things to go on a mid afternoon high cadence 25 mile stretch. It was hot out - so I had to forgo all the trivialities of cycling in the intense heat, big freekin deal..I do it all the time.
Was a nice relaxing ride - just sore and stretching. Threatened to thunderstorm - never did. I was more worried about the dinner I was cooking my father for Father's Day getting rained out.

Which it didn't - even held off even though I had my car thoroughly washed of all the bugs that lost their lives to my windshield in the past 740 miles I've put on my car in the past week. I managed to make that feast for Father's Day - Grilled FIlet Mignon slathered with Marsala infused shitake mushrooms and onions, garlic herbed wild rice, brocolli with a lime butter vinegrette, spicy crab stuffed mushrooms - and for dessert - an array of cheesecake (chocolate, pumpkin, apple crisp, et al). I was sooo full afterwards. He was very appreciative. Before our trip to the lake - I suprized him with a premature Father's Day gift of a few quality fishing rods/reels (his older ones were falling apart). Was the last thing I helped him "load" into his Jeep for the drive down to the lake ("...here, dad - you need these too ..." [wrapped with a bow]).
Well, the vacation week is officially over - even though I worked a day and a half. I feel at a loss that I didn't get everything done - and I don't feel relaxed at all. Too much stress to try to relax.
Sunday night anxiety settles in....
