Finally rode in a bike race today. It's almost the end of the road season, but whatever. I made a few mistakes and annoyed some people, but got some coaching to fix that. I also won a peach muffin. Pretty fun overall.

I picked quite the weird company to join. Everybody I've talked to says it's not a regular thing to get absolutely shitfaced on Fridays, but so far I've spent two Fridays with them, and that has proved to be the case. One in May during my interview (!!!), and one just now ( Read more... )
