May 2: Commuted to work, received a ride home after a work function. Came across a fellow cyclist who had fallen, I gave her a bandaid & escourted her to Town Lake.
May 3: Drove to work & commuted home, rode by the sight of a recent  car/bike accident to pay my respects to Verter. I forgot my light thus I wasn't able to attend the bike rally. Grabbed a geocache on the way home.
