Great time with the Jasons

I had a great time this morning with the Jasons!  I feel wierd with how excited I am about it.  My wife has kidded me that I have no friends and while I have many there are few that I hang out with anymore.  Some of this is due to distance and a large part is due to time.  A smaller but significant part is lack of common interest.  The interest we do share are not commonly done at 4 or 5 in the morning which is when I find it easiest to get out.  That is where the Jasons have come in.  They too love cycling and are willing to go out before the sun rises.  Perfect.

Today we rode 27 miles and only missed one turn - a pretty insignificant turn though.  It took us longer than I thought it should or would have but was still very enjoyable.  We talked afterwards about doing it a bit more interval style - pushing our limits for a mile or two and then taking it a bit easier - repeat. 

A couple of things that I will have to get resolved though include:

1. I told them I was game for next week same day/time/place but I just remembered I am out of town next week.
2. I told them this could be a regular weekly thing but I start an earlier shift at work in two weeks.  We can still do it but I will have to start and finish earlier or cover less distance.  After work one day a week may be an option.
