Training for the ride
July 29th, 2009 | 
Author: I finally had time to get on the bike trainer last night in preparation for this crazy bike ride I signed up for. An hour and half isn’t too big a deal, but I’ll need to be able to go for at least three hours to finish. Hopefully slow and steady will get me through. 
I’ll do another hour and half tonight.

Apparently a bumper takes a week to install
What I thought was going to be a simple process has now turned into a week long wait while they put a new bumper on my car. It sounded like the body shop had the bumper and it would only take a day to paint it, coat it and put it on. Now it seems that is a two day process once the bumper actually comes in. I dropped the car off on Monday, and it’s been sitting there with no work being done on it for the past three days. It’s perfectly driveable but I can’t have it. They won’t actually start working on it until tomrrow and maybe have it done by Friday.
This isn’t even close to what I expected when I dropped it off. I guess I should have known there would be problems when a “15 minute estimate” took nearly an hour to complete.
