Weekend Update
OK, just a post to update people what's going on in my life.
Flying: With my trip to Taiwan and with my instructor taking a week vacation, I've been put a bit behind in my training. However, I am getting very close to having my shirt tail ripped off. In July, I am flying up with Bill (remember him from my earlyier flight?) are flying up to Arlington for the big air show there. Should be a blast!
Biking: I've been doing a lot of road biking lately. The reason is we (Meg, Meg's friend Ken and I) are doing Seattle to Portland in the middle of July. When I did it a few years back with Kevin, we did it in a one day push. This year, we are doing it in two days. Personally, I think that will by much more difficult. I don't look forward to getting on the bike the morning of the second day... Also in biking news, this last Monday was my first ever bike race. This was around the track at PIR, so we don't have to worry about traffic or other road hazards. It was crazy riding in a pack of guys. I almost went down once, but we all made it sans road rash. I think I did pretty well, comming in seventh. It was Meg's first time too, and she did great. You can read her take here. Final note on the bike are some upgrades! who doesn't like upgrades? First, I got a set of wheels from a new company out of Colorado called Rol. Good wheels at a decent price. I think the look sweet too (see pictures below). Tomorrow morning, I head to Veloce Bikes to get my bike (now five years old!) dialed in to the perfect fit.
Before. Pretty much a stock 2002 Buenos Aries.
After: The new Rol wheels update it a bit. At least I think! I'll find out how they ride tomorrow.

Cutting off the shirttail, eh? Your Great-Uncle Bill, your namesake, had his uniform tie cut in half. Since no one wears ties anymore :-) I guess they've moved on to destroying other clothing. It'll be a big day when you get to solo, Bill. Good luck!
