Measure for measure sounds like Shakespeare. But after many months of working at my diet, I find myself thinking about that play\’s title because I never seem to stop washing measuring cups. I dare go only so far with eyeballing my portions. We\’ve all heard about portion distortion, I think; and if I don\’t want […]

The wind pulled a sneak attack on me again today. While I was outward bound, there seemed to be little wind. Then, shortly before I turned around to ride back home, the wind seemed to strengthen. Perception isn\’t always reality; but in this case, it was. When I left home, the wind was only 6-7
I\’m spoiled rotten from riding a road bike so much. When I ride the hybrid to the salvage store, and take the trailer, I feel SO slow! I\’m even slower riding back home from the salvage store hauling that loaded trailer; but I do it anyway. Slow or not, I keep going to the salvage
You can step lively with this adjustable workout stepper. Useful for an aerobics session; practicing coordination and/or balance; or for off-bike leg exercises. This lightweight but sturdy product allows you to work out in the comfort and safety of home; especially important as long as the pandemic continues. If, like me, you are \”height challenged\”,
No, I\’m not freaking out; but wearing leg warmers in May is freaky, all right. When I went out to ride this morning, it was below 70 degrees! Overnight lows of 80 degrees are far from uncommon this time of year, and it was a bit odd to go out in those leg warmers; long
Gasoline is not my fuel; and am I glad of that! I think we all heard about that cyber attack, and consequent shortages at the gasoline pumps. About 99% of the time I\’m glad I don\’t have a car; and now I\’m gladder than ever! My fuel is food, especially during long bicycle rides. Over
\”Wake up, legs!\” is what I felt like saying this morning. You know those days when your legs just don’t feel like doing anything? That was me today. Maybe the extra efforts of April Love to Ride are catching up with me, or maybe I got to bed too late last night. Or do my
Atmospheric dodgeball is the name of the game this week. When the forecasts don\’t look so good, all I can do is hope for enough of a weather window to do a ride without getting soaked! Mondays I usually don’t go out on the road bike; and unless there’s some kind of Love to Ride

I decided to skip it today, and left the bicycle home. The weather this morning wasn\’t at all conducive to cycling! At around 3 am, I woke to a T-storm. There was another T-storm in progress a couple of hours later, when I got up. I checked NOAA at around 6:45; and also my email.
Not Depression Food My ride food sure is not depression food. Just check out this video! Some of those things do sound weird; maybe because I’ve never had to desperately scrape together whatever I could find in order to eat at all (spoiled, aren’t I?). And hunger, as the old saying goes, is the best sauce. The
