The Story

In a rare Memorial Day Weekend ride I took off after all 500 miles of a thrilling Indy 500 race.

Needless to say I hit the apex of every turn I did perfectly after watching the race.

I'm usually not in town for this weekend, but this year we had things to get done, so we postponed a weekend at the lake house in favor of some chores. Plus, without much TV there, I decided I didn't want to take the chance of missing two Bucks' games and the 500.

Heck, today I might have been riding just as fast as Indy winner Simon Pagenaud of France. My bike computer certainly could not prove otherwise, because it went dead today.

At the start of the ride as I attempted to clear the computer it gave one rather long and odd sounding beep, then the screen went dark for good. My guess is a new battery in the unit should do the trick. Time to visit Cranked.

Slow and awkward was the feeling out there today, but that's because it has been a while. Nice just to take in a little of the decent weather and be getting a little exercise.
