I got proverbial yesterday, you could say; the proverbial first time. To explain: there\’s a vehicular access road to a mini-industry behind the levee, about half a mile from the salvage store; and I use it to get up and down from the levee bike path. I don\’t try to ride down. There\’s a stop […]
Keep those feet warm with these thermal socks. I tried these out for the first time last Sunday. By then we had gotten through our deep-freeze spell; but I certainly noticed how warm my feet felt! It might not get down to freezing again this season; and then again, it might. March can be very

This morning I got a repeat of yesterday morning\’s fog. Last night I saw the dense fog advisory, and decided to ride in the park this morning. There seem to be fewer hard-to-see people in the park; and I also used the hybrid, which has fenders. It\’s ironic that I did only a short ride.
Light in the Saddle The fog was heavy this morning. I didn’t expect it; but I noticed it as soon as I stepped out my front door. I was surprised that the moon — now almost full — was visible through it. But the river was totally obscured. In fact, I was surprised that

“Dropsy” is what I call it when I’m trying to get a water bottle back into its cage and miss. This morning I dropped a water bottle; and it seemed to vanish entirely. That\’s a drawback to riding in the dark. Or is there a black hole for bidons out there? Not that dropsy is anything to
Splits are nice when they\’re banana splits. I\’d love to have one, if only I didn\’t have prediabetes. There are splits within the world of gymnastics, or ballet. Time was when I could do a split; but now I can\’t. Cycling has tightened up my hamstrings. Maybe my age is catching up with me, too.😞
We\’ve got the thaw today! At 8 am it was already 51 degrees; and by noon it was well into the 60s! Unfortunately it still feels cold in my apartment; and as a result I was actually overdressed for my ride. On the way out I had a tailwind; and I got to feeling almost
Pure inspiration is something I could use; and I thought, maybe this protein powder will help! Purely Inspired Organic Protein is vegan-friendly; free of cholesterol; and has no added sugar. Each two-scoop serving (scoop included) packs in 20 g of protein! I found this product at the salvage store this morning, and decided to try
