Leapfrogging

\”Leapfrogging\” is what I call it when I\’ve got a blog in queue for a certain day; but before that blog gets published, I\’ll compose a blog that I really want to publish right away. Then the originally scheduled blog gets put at the end of the blog queue; that is, it leaps over the […]

It\’s not the most pleasant kind of weather to be standing around outdoors, anyhow; it isn\’t raining, but it\’s overcast and on the chilly side. So I went out on

Lundi Gras

Lundi Gras?? Isn\’t it MARDI Gras? Lundi Gras is the day before Mardi Gras, and boy, does it feel good to have these two extra days off! It\’s wonderful to be able to sleep until 7 am, or even later. I wouldn\’t have gotten up quite so early as that if I hadn\’t needed to

Extension

Extension of more than the 10 feet shown here, I hope! I\’m now working to lengthen my Sunday rides. Today I was aiming for 25 miles. I fell a little short at 24.9 miles, but at least I was close. It was pretty good weather for riding: sunny, and not too cool. The wind was
