WOW, this was a GREAT DAY, cycling, great weather and an earthquake!

Today was one of those memorable days; the temps were in the 40's, the sun was shining, the snow is melting, and we had an earthquake. Work was OK, spent most of the day evaluating new Help Desk programs we are looking for to replace the one we have now. During the second meetiing, around 12:15 PM the ground lurched, the tables moved, the overhead cameras swayed back and forth. Just a 4.7 earthquake about 25 miles northwest of us. No damage or injuries, so that was good.



I had my bike with me and had been looking forward to the ride home all day. It was election day so I had to make a short side trip to vote, but it was woth it. What a ride! Even though it was messy it was a great day for a ride.




Last evening, Monday, April 6th, I was at the hospital to co-lead a bike seminar in an attempt to get employees to sign up for the Ride for Life Alaska to be held in July. It is a fund raiser for research and treatment for colorectal cancer. It was a lot of fun and apparently a big success. We had guest speakers 3 from local bike shops and 1 who has a repair business. At least 25 people showed up, which was a great turn out concerding that it was after a long days work
