I love a rainbow ride! Much of the sky looked stormy when I set out this morning. I didn\’t care for the appearance of the clouds, and as usual I was concerned about the possibility of lightning. But that didn\’t stop me from riding. It was still quite early; before 7 am. When the sun
The learning curve is something that we deal with all our lives. Every time we begin something new, there\’s that **** curve staring us in the face again! Cycling, of course, is no exception. The learning curve for a beginning cyclist can seem steep and endless. I never rode much when I was a kid,

I\’ve been released! For a couple of days I didn\’t quite dare to go riding as usual. Weather forecasts were dire: \”Tropical storm conditions possible\”, and such statements. I didn\’t want to risk being unable to ride back home if the wind got too strong for me. It feel great to get outdoors and ride
The day after is not, I would say, a time to be happy when a big, powerful hurricane has just passed over. Naturally there are people who are thankful that they didn\’t come out of the storm as badly as they might have; but those who must rebuild I\’m sure aren\’t jumping for joy. New
Here comes Round Two of bad weather. It\’s not a very good time to pump up those tires and roll. Marco amounted to little or nothing in my neck of the woods. We aren\’t exactly home free, though. Hurricane Laura is expected go go ashore tonight or early tomorrow. We won\’t get the full brunt

But the \”excitement\” isn\’t entirely over. Hurricane Laura is out there, which means we still need to be alert. Laura is expected to
The calm before the storm. That old expression, come to think of it, has a rather ominous ring to it. It conjures up visions of something waiting to pounce. This morning I overslept, and didn\’t get to ride before I had to clock in to (remote) work. The sky then was only lightly covered by
Watch and wait is all I can do now. I have lots of canned goods; bottled water; and paper goods. I hope we don\’t have much of a power outage, but at least some time without \”juice\” is 99% certain. I suppose the hurricane hunters are being kept busy. They\’ve got two storms to monitor!
We\’re all on the alert now. Everyone on or near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico has an uneasy eye on TS Marco. My hometown appears to be the bull\’s eye, too. We\’re under hurricane watch, and tropical storm warning. When I was a kid, I thought it would be exciting to experience the
