TGIF

The last 2 Fridays have been really nice for me thanks to my friend Bobby and his nice sailboat the Bobcat. We have met at Lake Ray Hubbard in the mornings and prepared the boat while taking short breaks to fish the docks and I caught bass each time. Gentle breezes, dead down wind wing on wing, notice the rod and holder
This was an unusual sight, from a distance it looked like a man walking on the water, jibe to starboard tack and sheet the sails and on closer inspection it looks like a paddle board of some sort.
This Friday we sailed into a giant school of surfacing sand (white) bass and I was catching a fish every cast for a while. When I had no fish for 3 consecutive casts we moved on and left them biting.
On the cycling front I have been getting in my basic 100 miles a week, consisting of 2 club rides and usually a ride with just Michele and Me. Other than The Tuesday evening ride which has been really hot we roll out at about 7:30 am to beat the heat. We have got to get at least one long ride of at around 70 miles soon because the Hotter Than Hell Hundred is just around the corner and we are not well prepared.
