Managed to convince myself to get out before work at ride. For some reason this is a trick thing. No matter when work starts, it still feels like morning, and all I should do before is watch tv and drink coffee. On Sundays we're only open 1-4, and with the loud thunderstorm last night, I slept a bit later than usual and got out of bed around 9. A quick couple bowls of cereal and cup of coffee, and I found the energy to go for a ride. Definitely glad I did. I just rode the nearest paved rails to trails bike trail we've got, the High Trestle Trail. Round trip I went about 30 miles, and enjoyed some pretty nice weather:

Sadly, I couldn't mountain bike because of the aforementioned thunderstorm. Everywhere was (and still is) pretty damp.
That's supposed to be corn.
Dirtoir Black Lager
After a quick shower and four incredibly busy hours at work I returned to my place, and promptly cracked open a beer.
O'Fallon Hemp Hop Rye. Seems it is brewed with hemp seeds, which is probably what accounts for the earthy smoothness that under tones the fairly spicy rye flavors. Interesting style, not something I'd want to drink super often, but it sure hit the spot after a day of work, and commute home in the heat and humidity. Later tonight I had some of Rogue's Grow Your Own Series.

It was quite good, malty, bitter, all locally grown, local to Rogue and their Oregon based brewery at least. Interesting experiment for a brewer to try. Also a pretty good beer for me (or you) to try.
