Tri again

Pete and I rode out to Elgin last Sunday. It was a nice day for a ride - not too humid and a little overcast. Around Decker Lake we rode in a coned off lane. Didn't think too much about it at the time, but on the way home we realized it was a protected lane for a local triathlon - the Couples Tri, I believe. Regardless, it was nicer to be riding with other cyclist than with cars zipping by.



Since I was already sweaty, after the ride I decided to repair the cracks in the concrete skirting around the house. The cracks are the result of leveling my house a few months back - when they raised the front of my house 2 inches.




Unfortunately, a 60 lb bag of mortar was the smallest I could find at Home Depot. A bit of a waste, since I only needed 15 lbs or so. It's not my best job, but it certainly looks better than before.
