Here is a drawing of Norman’s bike that I’ve been working on. It seems like it took forever to draw. I really need to hook up a mouse to the laptop when I work on it…

Saturday Joby and I got up at 7am to ride around Camano Island with a group of SIR members. The weather threatened snow, so I was a bit nervous going into it. It turned out to be a gorgeous (if cold) morning and it is one of my favorite routes to date. Even with the clouds, you could see most of the mountain ranges on all sides.

I got to speak to a few new (to me) members along the way. One guy tried to talk me into signing up for the Cascade 1200k. I tried to explain to him that my legs probably aren’t ready for 800 miles over 4 days when I haven’t even completed an actual event with the group. He wasn’t cutting me any slack though.
“It isn’t until June,” he explained.
“Oh yeah, plenty of time…”

Honestly though, everyone has been extremely nice and talkative. I’m sure it would be easy to dismiss someone a generation younger, in a ninja suit, with tattoos and odd piercings. I appreciate the open arms.

I have one more track on Rock Band’s Hard drum tour. I can tell that I am getting better, but the game is making me work for it.
