the Tour rolls on

and i do too. first major ride back on the bike, the 28-mi loop today after work, right up until it got dark. i went out by myself and almost didn't get lost, but did manage to get Cathy all worried about me, to the point of driving around to look for me and make sure i didn't get hit by a car in the dim light. it was really nice of her, though i felt pretty bad about not calling sooner to let her know where i was, and that i was okay.
the first real mountain stage is tomorrow, so look for the most gorgeous man in the peloton to start making some moves. be still my beating heart!
