no new photos and no Strava data to tell the tale... this morning I was a few minutes late for work... Dean was not confident on the best route to get to Thompson's Boat Center for his rowing spring training camp

ah... mornings

not my time

not Dean's time

but after the requisite dog walk this morning
I made this morning our time

DCPS is on Spring Break

Grant is with his mother in Colorado enjoying spring break and spring skiing

Colorado just got DUMPED ON

they are loving it

while Dean is hanging back in DC to attend his Wilson Crew team's spring training

last night I tried to review the best routes for Dean to get to school on his bike

it worried me that he would take a route that was unnecessarily long

or if I instructed him on an alternate route that he might get lost

so... I rode with him to Thompson's Boat Center this morning

it was a nice ride

there was a moment where I was talking to Dean

we wanted to take a right off 13th Street onto Arkansas Avenue

there was a cyclist in front of us

he was not pedaling

he was not pedaling like a person does not walk when they are on an escalator

PEDAL DAMMIT!

had I been along I would have passed him and made the turn

but I did not want to get Dean tangled up in this rider

as we passed I spoke to Dean

the rider heard me... and uttered, "you got a problem man?"
with a tone worse than my question, "why is this guy not pedaling?"

I said... "I am talking to my son... you can F yourself"

or something equally as kind

I am not a fan of the new breed

the newbies are just more obstacles on the road

so many going just slightly faster than a jogger

others going slower

we got past him and on with our day

it was a nice ride

after we went our separate ways at TBC I went along the Potomac and got to take a morning glance at the Cherry Blossoms

was a few minutes late for work... but I will survive
will make up for my lack of promptness with productivity

which means... time to focus on the tasks at hand

oh... nice seeing Kelvin this morning as well

good to see cyclists out pushing the pedals

was irked by the number of eBikes on the bike paths this morning and last night

eBikes SUCK!
