    I've taken the day off today. I'm taking my boys to the orlando science center to see the new imax film. I'll ride tonight.

    I'll do a short ride in the morning tomorrow then get the smoker going.

    Saturday I'll be doing a 3 hour ride.

    No plans for sunday yet.

    Hey, there might be children reading this! :hahaha:

    ...I'm heading back to Maine this evening, and am stretching this to a four-day weekend. I'm planning to ride tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. I may even have a companion for the last ride if a friend who's coming to camp next week can figure out how to add his bike to the family's packing list.

    The camp's celebration of the 4th is usually very low-key, but there's a guy who lives on the other side of the lake who owns a working cannon. He usually spends the day sitting in a lawn chair with the cannon on one side of the chair and a lot of beer on the other. His shots are random and loud as hell.

    I'll be rowing daily (sometimes with my daughter!), and dealing with whatever other fun presents itself. I wish I could get up and leave right now...
    GO!

    We're in Keystone, CO this week, where I've got a rented road bike and have been sneaking in some daily miles in between family activities. I've been sucking wind big time, but less each day (yesterday seemed within hailing distance of normal, even at 10k feet). If I can get up at a decent hour tomorrow, I'll try heading up towards A-basin and then maybe Loveland Pass. We're heading back east on Saturday.

    Poker tonight as a going away party for a friend moving to Naples. Up $20:thrasher:

    A weekly Pungo "Family Day Ride" with the racer boys and their racer wifes in the morning if I'm not to hung over. Drank to much:slug:

    Yearly bike ride/party a friend host every year on the Saturday that the TDF starts.

    Early Sunday morning ride to the Boardwalk to drink my coffee and gawk at the hotties jogging.

    Some Quality family time doing whatever.

    Dammit butch, that was a spew coffee moment. I didn't spew but would have!

    Cannon, that's a hella idea. Think I might do that. This is CANNON county!

    Getting SS roadie from HandsomeRob in the morning. Will ride it tomorrow. Then home-cooked BBQ, beer, fruit, and pool--need cannon. May take a group of newbs to the trails Saturday-that or local roads.

    Sunday, try to find the big dog. Little dog don't care. He'll light the fuse if you trust him with a lighter.

    You and my little Jack Russell! I am riding, drinking beer and eating twizzler's in my new atmo t-shirts! My weekend is cut short as I am headed East (NYC) on Sunday. Any skinny handsome riders in NYC interested in some modeling? Happy 4th! Ride hard, Eat food and celebrate the USA! Even with the incredibly tough times we are experiencing, the USA is where my heart is.

    My son turns 16 saturday! I think I'll take him out and break his legs on a hilly road climb (or more likely vice versa!).

    Shino - can I send my brother as my proxy? He likes beer and strippers, too.

    My primary activity this weekend will be packing boxes, as we are moving into our new house (out of UH subsidized faculty housing) starting July 8. Since it is a 2 mile move, I don't have to pack everything at once.

    There will be some riding, beering and grilling going on as well, I'm sure.

    Kicking it out on LI. Doing fierce battle with trophy wives, their cell phones, their Range Rover Sport SUV's and their generally awful driving habits. Attempting to keep the sea breeze at my back.

    Probably some grilling too. Maybe a movie. Maybe chase my lady friend around the pool a bit.
    Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated.

    If by 'modeling' you mean 'rolling around central park in a leisurely fashion,' then yes.
