First and only 3

I was out on my new Gotway wheel again last night albeit solo this time.  Before I left I went through a calibration routine that is supposed to allow you to level the pedals.  It resulted in a funny video that illustrated just how fast the tire can spin and just how loud and annoying the beeps the wheel makes can be.

Afterward I headed back over to the school to get some more riding in.  I am really enjoying the new freedom the Gotway gives me where I no longer have to worry about the wheel slowing me down when I approach 14mph.  I did a few higher speed bursts during the ride that might have gotten into the high teens speed-wise, that felt plenty fast enough.

Late last night I watched my first baseball of the entire 2016 season.  Yes, I am not kidding.  I wanted to see if the Cubs could end the longest championship drought in baseball, dating back to 1908.  When I flipped the game on it was already in the 7th inning and the Cubs had a comfortable 6-3 lead.  I felt good about their chances as I saw they had Chapman getting warm in the bullpen , the 100mph+ closer.   When they brought him in to get the last out in the 8th inning I figured it was the beginning of the end for the Indians.

The unthinkable happened, before Chapman could get that single out he gave up a double that drove in the guy on first base and a homerun that tied the game, holy shit.  It started to rain during the top of the ninth which is when sleep overtook me unfortunately so I didn’t get to see the dramatic finish with the Cubs scoring two runs in the 10th inning and the Indians falling short, only scoring one run in the bottom of the inning.  I would have liked to see the excitement at the end of a crazy World Series. I’m happy for the Cubs and Chicago fans, some of which I know personally (Lily), that the long, long streak has finally come to an end.
