A slow and cloudy day in Upstate New York.

I get up to have coffee with my mom and stepdad before they depart for Monday morning at their office. The morning is spent downloading photos and video footage from the last week of riding. I jump on the bike to meet them for lunch at the Thai resturant in town for lunch.

After lunch, my mom and I head to their new house to make a few decisions on the remodel.

Between massive grey rain clouds and scattered showers I manage to go for a run. I forgot about the feeling of running when it’s 80 degrees and the humidity is hovering around 75%. Sweaty is an understatement.

After a swim in the pool, we go for an Upstate New York staple – buffalo wings. It’s hard to find great wings in LA, yet almost every bar in upstate makes them nearly perfect.

It’s a very relaxing day. The perfect way to recharge.
