Always ride in style

There is one week left before I depart this country for the next long while. I've been collecting all the extraneous things that I need and really looking forward to being on the plane so that I can stop thinking about what I should and shouldn't bring. It's a lot easier to deal with what you have than to anticipate what you will need I think. Tomorrow is my last day of chauffeuring, for which I am extremely grateful, and I believe that I will do some work around my house for a few extra dollars before I head out. I tested my spot satellite transmitter today and found it to be slightly annoying to figure out, but not impossible to use. I've sent my first "ok" message with it which is now conveniently located on a map for public viewing. You can see the exact global coordinates of my parent's house if you go here: http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0RceZhbklfpIYKS5Hs5M9BzqHEZONhM5K

I think that is the link to see all of my future locations. I'm trying to get this all set up so that it's super easy to navigate (which it really isn't by design). Perhaps someday I will make maps. I have very specific desires when it comes to maps, and no map has ever satisfied.

So, below are a few pictures of a bike ride a took maybe a week ago. The weather has been incredible for this time of year. It's really been the perfect training weather. Of course I train in style, but I'll be riding dirty soon enough.
