Most of my experience has been working for makers of computer hardware and software, almost all of it aimed at system administrators, programmers, maintenance engineers, etc. Management experience as well. Will Consider All Reasonable Offers. At least until unemployment runs out; then the unreasonable offers start getting considered.

This coming wednesday I think we are going to do the Luce Line/Dakota Rail/Minnetonka LRT loop, starting from Brackett at 4pm. Bring money or a lunch; I think we should plan on stopping in St. Boni or Victoria for a food break before heading back to Minneapolis down the LRT. We should be able to make it back before dark if we keep the dinner stop to an hour or less.
I want to keep a paceline going at around 20mph; If folks agree to this I'll be riding my road bike to help with the pulling duties.

On Wednesday I'll be on an old-school steel red road bike (no logos), wearing my red bikelove hat. Or if I decide my shoulder hurts too much, a yellow recumbent (like in my avatar). We typically meet at the top of the greenway ramp at brackett.

Well Charlie bonked out in Plymouth, so I rode back home with him and had a beer, then headed out to see if I could meet you guys on the Minnetonka LRT for the return loop. Got all the way out to Excelsior, and it was getting dark, so I headed home. Hope you all made the loop ok. I got 90 miles in today, which was great.
