Day 277, 6/4/15
Rode around downtown on the way to work. Later rode to Indy Met for final mentor session of the year. What a beautiful day! I'm going to miss riding in Indy.
Day 278
A beautiful day to celebrate National Donut Day! Rode to work for the last time where Ben made donuts and Matthew some PDG tuna salad. Those job perks will be missed. After work rode to Sun King then out for First Friday. Paul and I rode to Irvington to eat at Beast but the truck was out of commission. We ended up getting dinner at Chatham and watching Polka Boy at the Rathskellar.
Day 279, 6/6/15
Rode with Pat up to Butler for some morning Ultimate. Later that night Pat and I were packed up and driving to DC!

Slipped a Mickey
Day 274, June 1st, 2015
Rode to work. The mouse is on his way (and in a surprisingly good mood)!
Day 275
Drove to work in order to pick up the Mouse. Full moon ride tonight around Cultural and Wapahani Trails. Ended up at Chilly Water.
Day 276
Drove to work in order to pick up the Mouse. Met with Pat who rode up from the South side. We rode a bit and shared a beer. Softball tonight was quite a good time. We won our first game of the season!

Take me home, down Claylick Rd.
Day 271, 5/29/15
Rode to work and back. Taking off to work my first weekended at the new gig.
Day 272
I counted on there being a bike around the campus knowing full well Kevin wouldn't let me mount his prized Cannondale in the past. What I found was a too small MTB (maybe a Trek) with half flat tires setting in front of the office. The low air pressure and small frame made for VERY easy handling around Adirondack chairs, loose sports balls, and other obstacles residing on the porch.
Day 273
After returning home I rode to O'Malia's to pick up a chips and salsa dinner.

Memorial Day
Day 267, 5/25/15, Memorial Day
After driving back from Louisville I took an evening ride around Cultural Trail.
Day 268
Rode to work and O' Malias to return a couple flicks.
Mortdecai (1 mustache)
The Gambler (don't bet on it)
Day 269
Rode to work and City Market. Played some softball out west later.
Day 270
Got distracted on the way to work and ended up circling downtown. Stopped at Henry's for a bite but settled for a mediocre coffee given their abysmal weekday offerings. That place has been slopping off.

They Say It's Your Birthday!
Day 263, 5/21/15
Rode to work. Heading to Fountain Square tonight for some music but there was none! Third Thursday my ass.
Day 264
Rode to O'Malias and the Library to return movies before work. Kurt and Natalie were off which made for a QUIET day at work.
Day 265
Rode to River's bday party with Paul! River broke the present I got him which was kind of a jerk move, but I can be the bigger man.
Day 266
Abbey Road at the River, Louisville, KY

Into the Woods
Day 260, 5/18/15
Rode to work then took a jog and ran stairs with Courtney at the Veteran's War Memorial. After grabbing pizza, beer, and Adam Sandler's "The Cobbler" (I give it 3 shoes), I took a night ride up to 16th St. and then to the East Washington Walgreens. I was seeking an outdoor Redbox unit to return the mediocre movie without locking up Ichiro.
Day 261
Rode to work and left early to get down for an interview at Rancho. Stopped by Big Woods and got Natalie some beer... but I opened it for a cold Busted Knuckle before riding down to watch the Indian's game from the Harrison suite after. It's nice to be schmoozed!
Day 262
Rode to work and SK after to get Liz some Osiris. She landed around 8:30 and we enjoyed some La Revelucion.

Macker
Day 258, 5/16/15
Macker Day 1.
The Traffic:
Heading to the Macker from our hotel we got a little backed up on a rainy I-64. A cattle truck tipped over spilling its 96 cows onto the freeway! Unfortunately 60 of the cows died, 3 of which were put down on the scene. The highway was closed for 13 hours Saturday as crews worked to corral the remaining cows. West Virginia mountains, momma!
The Games:
We got destroyed in our first two games. Playing in the post looked more like a boxing match than basketball. We will refocus for the Toilet Bowl tomorrow.
The Ride:
Immediately upon getting to the Macker I saw a small antique shop with a child's bike out front. I walked down there and feigned interest in the bike in order to pedal it for a short stint. The tires were flat and the bike was tiny, but it counts as a ride!
The Food:
Enjoyed a fantastic Italian restaurant in Huntington WV, La Famiglia. This is an Ironton Macker tradition and rightfully so. The pizza was amazing!
The Night Life:
Stopped by Marshall's campus and poked around the stadium until we found an open gate. Pat and Chris met me on the turf and threw around the ball Pat keeps handy in the trunk. Chris was a PPK winner in Kansas and was throwing me 50 yard bombs as I blew by Pat!
Day 259
Macker Day 2.
We won game one and finally felt comfortable on the court. The following game was tough and close but we did not end up on top. Great time with friends old and new!
After returning home I rode around cultural trail and cut through on New York. Paced a quick-to-accelerate hoopty all the way down New York until they realized that no matter how fast they took off, I would catch them at the next light.
