Meetings, meetings, meetings

The high temperature in the St. Louis area approached 60 degrees Wednesday, so what did I do?

Yes, I attended three meetings and nursed a car with a leaking radiator hose back home.

No, I did not ride my bike.

The first of the meetings was the East-West Gateway Council of Government's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, in which the head of St. Louis County's highway department, Garry Earls, talked about the impact of Interstate 64/U.S. Highway40 construction on nearby roads popular with cyclists.

Check back here later today to find out what I have to say about that meeting. Right now, my mind is mush, and I don't think I can write anything insightful.

The other two meetings involved putting mailing labels on brochures for the Tour de Stooges -- given I'm the ride coordinator for Tour de Stooges, it probably was a good idea to be there and not dump all the work on other volunteers -- and determining what logistical issues need to be addressed for the Tour de Grape.

Thanks to the radiator hose problem, it took me longer than it should have to return to Belleville from St. Louis County, so it's time to call it a night.
