Well, Friday was the training ride that wasn't. I had every intent of going on a 50 mile ride, starting mid-morning. I let my daughter sleep a little late, then fed her breakfast and took her to my in-laws' house to play while I rode.
On my way home, I became aware (because my debit card was declined for gas) that there was over $5,000 missing from my bank accounts. Needless to say, the rest of the day was pretty much spent working through bank statements and talking with bank staff, both on-line and in person.
While the loss was significant, it looks like the bank will pretty much make me whole. Also, it might finally spur my wife and I into making some spending habit changes we have been talking about for a while. And, of course, I am very thankful that this only affected my bank accounts. My family is still healthy and well. We still have very much to be thankful for.
Also, while I was on hold with the bank on Monday, I was able to change out the stem on my bike. The new stem is shorter, so I should be able to keep more weight on the saddle. Plus, it make take some of the strain and soreness off my shoulders. I am looking forward to trying it out soon.
So, maybe I will get to ride again sometime soon. I will post after I do!
