It was a crazy day yesterday. First, I forgot to set my alarm clock the night before. It was already 5:40 when I woke up. Today was Tuesday, and that meant I had to go work on-site. I didn\’t feel like rushing around to fix and eat breakfast post-ride, so I decided not to ride. […]

It will be frigid tomorrow morning! The forecast predicts a chilly 63 degrees! Compared to 80 degrees at 5 am, that\’s downright cold; and as usual, there\’s no gradual cooling down. Now it\’s time to haul out skull cap, leg warmers, and so on. One of the worst things about cold — or even cool!
Now to restoration, i.e. building back up. I\’m afraid I\’ve lost too much fitness over the last few weeks. Too often I haven\’t gotten in my usual mileage, and I skipped doing any truly intense efforts. There were the mornings when I overslept. Several times there were weather threats; and I haven\’t had quite the
Yes, she\’s back! I finally have my hybrid again. I\’m delighted, because it was hard not having it. All week, every time I thought of doing a quick errand, I remembered: Oh, I can\’t. I don\’t have the hybrid. Of course I have my road bike, but it\’s not well-suited to shopping runs. I know,
Good intentions are a great starting point, but plans don\’t always work out. When I decided to ride Tour de Cure this year, I sat down and drew up my training plan. The idea was to be doing 50-mile Sunday rides by now. Not so fast. Things got in the way. First came the COVID-19
On KP is what it often feels like. I seem to spend an awful lot of time in that kitchen! This past weekend, between Friday evening and Sunday afternoon, I completed three cooking projects!

Keep on Logging! Birling, anyone? I’d keep on logging if I were a lumberjack. Maybe I’d even try birling! With prediabetes and carb-counting, I have to keep on logging in another way. I have to admit that this constant food-tracking is something of a drag. It’s partly an awareness exercise, I think. I’ve begun to
We\’ve been under cloudy skies here for several days. It keeps things from getting so hot, of course, but a constantly gray sky is a little depressing, too. It\’s a good thing I can listen to a cheerful march or two. This morning it wasn\’t raining, but the wind was quite stiff. Riding against it

The calculations are constant under certain conditions. When drizzles all day, and you\’re tired of being shut up indoors; can you go for a ride? Will the wind rise too much? Will lightning move in? That was the case last Saturday. With the hybrid in the shop, I didn\’t have my usual way to go
