its about time

today it was off to class at 8:15. even though i thought last monday was the last student led class i was wrong. so i endured that once again.
after that i went to the grocery store. got what i think is enough food for the week. last week i discovered that i can buy enough for the week all at once. for under 20 €. thats with bananas, water melon, and other good stuff as well. so not just cheap boring food. i dont know why i did not figure this out earlier. then i got back, searched and searched for free tour video on the net. did not find any, so i worked on my Salem paper. and finished it too. 7 3/4 pages, all in german. im pretty happy with it. now for editing...

on the way to strasbourg, on the train, i met two guys who live in the area. both bike, and have their bikes here. one was american and one norwegian. i invited them to ride today since it was recovery day and the norwegian (lars) contacted me. so we set out at 5:15 which was good since it was blasted hot today, and by then it was a bit cooler. it was good to ride with somebody again, hadnt done that besides in races for a long time. we talked about the tour and he did what i shoulda. he found a place to jump the barriers and went and talked with the pros. being norwegian he went and talked to Hushovd, he said he was really nice. the conversation eventually led to how much cars hate bikers. and in norway apparetly its really really bad. he said that a little while ago, the womens norwegian national champ was forced off the road by a truck. somehow she caught him and asked him if he was trying to kill her and he said yes. crazy crazy. so i guess i can live with horns and fingers. also if another stage comes close, we are gonna try to get to it.
so it was a good ride.

since no one commented about my ending the pictures,ill just put two more. i guess they are old news..
