We ate at Zingerman's Roadhouse Friday evening to wrap up GBR. I was not impressed. The deli, yes. The Roadhouse, no. Don't get me wrong, I thought my sandwich and salad and cocktail were good, but low on the value scale and not extraordinary. Saturday I dropped off the truck for an oil change and tire rotation then Jenelle and I went to Michigan's largest taxidermist: Cabella's. Cabella's is an outdoor store on an IKEA scale, chock full of good camping gear and incredible stuffed animals. There were fish swimming in ponds and trucks and boats and roasted almonds and a huge freshwater aquarium, which we wandered around and took in the spectacle and bought a new micra. In the evening we listened to APHC, made pad thai, country bread, and had a great time being relatively lazy.
Despite the frost on the grass Sunday morning we went to Runway Industrial Park in Ann Arbor to watch Dave ride in a 30 km training criterium. It was sunny and calm, and the whir of chains and the clicks of pedals made me want to get up early in two weeks and ride in the C-group just like back in the day. Now it's the afternoon and I'm in a MAP meeting in Kresge while Jenelle researches from the courtyard lab.
