My litany of woes today doesn\’t include a train wreck. I do, however, feel somewhat wrecked. This morning I couldn\’t get up in time to go for a pre-work ride.

I was a sleepyhead again this morning! It drives me crazy when I fall back asleep and don’t have time to go for a ride. Well, OK, I could have squeezed in a short ride by frantically rushing myself. I decided to wait until after work to ride. I’m glad the temperature won’t be in
