Mañana is good enough for me, as the old song goes. In this case, I don\’t have any choice. Tour de Cure is tomorrow, so mañana will have to be good enough for me! As always when an important event is on the threshold, I don\’t feel ready. Do pro cyclists feel like that on […]
The latest additions to my web site\’s Shop are: four flavors of RXBar! In Whole Foods this morning, I checked out the sports bars section, as usual. I was delighted to see RXBar Maple Sea Salt, because I love maple; and I got some of the bars to use as ride food during Tour de
If \”roughshod\” means your shoes are badly battered, I went around roughshod for as much as a year! I don\’t mean cycling shoes; I mean my walking shoes. The uppers had holes rubbed in them by the time the footwear was about six months old. The toe clips on the hybrid\’s pedals caused a lot
To chip away at it is often the best way to tackle a big job; whether it\’s working up to a major ride, or re-doing a web site. As so often happens, my vacation is turning into a working vacation. This time, the big thing is adjusting my web site to be more mobile-friendly. I
I\’d better watch it! Yesterday my weight was back to almost 108 pounds. I know — some day-to-day fluctuation in weight is normal. The problem is, I was born with a mega-sweet tooth, and I always have had trouble curbing my appetite for candy. Controlling that sweet tooth is especially hard in the evenings. I
So, which day is it? Being on vacation throws off my sense of time. Day before yesterday it felt like Sunday, because I had done my long ride. It also didn\’t feel quite like Saturday, because I didn\’t do laundry. Yesterday didn\’t really feel like Sunday. I did laundry; and as a rule, I don\’t
I\’m beginning a new cycle in my kitchen. Over the last few weeks, I finally used up a lot of the stuff that had been cramming my freezer; and yesterday, I began more cooking projects. Here we go again! I kicked off the new cycle with Bald Eagle. I was much surprised when I sighted
\”Not one iota\” typically means, \”not the slightest\”. It\’s different when a storm of that name is heading your way. Under such circumstances nobody can afford to be indifferent. Tropical Storm Iota is expected to strengthen further before making landfall next Monday. Unfortunately it looks like it\’s aiming for Nicaragua and Honduras; as if they
Buzzwords are all around us. Sometimes, I admit, they\’re as annoying as a mosquito buzzing around my ear. On the other hand, such lingo has its place. So, how about come cycling buzzwords? Athena? It\’s lucky my weight doesn\’t fall into that category, or I\’d be in a LOT of trouble. But even if it
Just a heads up: I\’ll soon be at work on this web site again! Next week I\’ll be on vacation, the perfect time for such a task. My vacations always seem to turn into working vacations! The main thing will be restructuring the Slides. So if things look weird, or error messages crop up, that\’s
