this morning started off rather chilly and i was sporting two layers of clothing, fleece gloves and a headband when i headed out to help teach the new texas 4000 riders how to ride. two hours later i was down to my jersey, bike shorts and arm warmers, and the latter were only necessary because i didn't have sunscreen on my arms. it had warmed up about 25 degrees in a 2.5 hour period. nice.
michelle and i went out on a 3.5 hour ride after the teaching session. during this ride we decided we were both terribly out of cycling shape (we've both been running focused lately). that and neither of had eaten or drank enough relative to the amount of exercise and temperature. i haven't really bonked in a workout in awhile, but i think the last hour of this ride discontinued this streak.
on a completely different note, i went to the opening of bass concert hall last night. we heard the ut symphony, a couple of opera singers, the ut jazz ensemble....and then ghostland observatory played...with the jazz ensemble...and then the ut marching band came parading in. it was awesome. we were dancing in the aisles. ghostland observatory is synthesizer and one singer meet smoke, lasers and lights. i wish i could have gone to a whole concert where they only played music like those last 15 minutes. they were great.
