Crazy ride

It has been a pretty solid training week, next week is going to be even more intense but I am pretty excited about  it. I am looking forward to racing again. I have a pretty funny story about my ride with Scott on Tuesday, well now it's funny:
Scott and I started our ride off in the rain then it turned out to be a beautiful day. During the ride Scott had intervals so he would do them then turn around and meet back up with me. Well... after the first one he said this road is going to end turn left at the light and I said ok no worries see you in a bit. The road didn't actually end it just gradually turned into the 405.. YIKES! After I realized I was on the freeway I turned around and got off at the first exit and tried to find my way back to where Scott was waiting for me. About ten minutes later he called me and was like where are you!? I told him and we couldn't figure out exactly how to get back where I was so I told him just to go on with his ride and send me his address and I will just use mapquest to get back to his house and see him when he gets back. Easier said then done my friend! Mapquest on my phone did NOT work out as well as I thought it would. I pulled out my phone to look at the time and realized that I had dropped my debit card one of the times I had pulled it out before, so I went back to go see if I could find it; no luck. There was nothing I could do about it so I went to Lewis and Clark my way back to Scott's house. Not being from around that area and have only ridden there a few times made it kind of difficult to get back. I decided to just turn on random roads that looked familiar and hopefully I would make it back, surprisingly it WORKED! Our Panera sandwiches where well deserved after that day! I called into my bank and told them what happened and they told me that someone had already found it and called it in to cancel it. Which was weird because my own mother tried to call in to cancel it but they wouldn't let her.. hmm? All in all I got pretty lucky!
