So Deceptive

How can such a cute baby be such a monster? It's very deceptive...

Lily has been getting huge. In this particular picture, I believe the fist in the mouth is baby for "Feed me some freakin steak and potatoes already!"

She's about ready for cereal, and almost bigger than the cat, though the cat is doing her best to keep up.

Speaking of keeping up, now that weather is finally nice (It's almost Juy before the weather gets nice? Where are we Wyoming?) there's the usual slew of idiotic riders out on the path. Between the ones that try to keep up with me and almost take me down because they have their heads down in pain when I brake, and the "I haven't ridden a bike in 4 years and will now do so for the first time on a busy bike path" folks, there's no shortage of idiots out there.

Going back to the first set of people, after braking for a family on the bike path (slowing from 25ish to 18ish) I hear a twang, twang, twang which I realize is the idiot sucking my wheel, failing to brake and smacking his spokes against my wheel nuts. Now if i was thinking I would have pulled into his wheel and put him on the ground as a good life lesson, but i was dumbfounded. After lecturing the idiot about the joys of riding ALONE and reminding him that if he can't keep up on his Cervelo while drafting a 200lb guy on a 26 pound fixie carrying a 30 lb bag, maybe that coaching program at Cadence isn't paying off, I told him the best thing to do would probably be to continue his ride well behind me in at his zone 3 heart rate. I'd hate to throw off his training program by having him working too hard following me :)
