Sometimes I feel like I\’m streaking. Twice in the past week, I forgot to wear my reflective vest when I went out on the bike; and when I realize that I don\’t have it, I feel naked! It\’s a good thing I\’m not. To begin with, it\’s too cold for such shenanigans; and at my
Is my body fighting back? They say that, if you lose weight, your body has a tendency to try to get back to your pre-loss weight! A good bathroom scale can help you keep on track; and I, for one, need that. Over the past week or two, my weight is bouncing all over the
Weather forecasts often seem like prophets of doom. A forecast I checked yesterday predicted heavy fog for this morning; and then I didn’t see any fog. I’m not complaining about the absence of fog; but sometimes I don’t know what to prepare for when planning a ride! One weather site said 40% chance of showers;
This morning I felt like a rolling disco. My headlight began flickering; and it made me think of a disco scene that I saw on television many years ago. I was sure that I had charged that light; but maybe I forgot. I don\’t want to be one of those people who ride in the

\”Last one in is the rotten egg!\” So went the shout when a group of kids was racing to see who could reach a goal first; and who would finish dead last. I recall the 2018 Tour de Cure, when I was the rotten egg. I averaged only 12.28 mph; and that\’s not any too
It\’s small beer at present — there\’s nothing important to report; and in fact I don\’t drink beer. The same old litany keeps reeling itself out: I\’m tired of the cold; and I\’m so tired of headwinds! Can\’t I come up with something new? I can\’t even think up a new Hoppin\’ John variation! The
I read this article a day or two ago; and it mentions box breathing. Huh? It sounds like packing up a pair of lungs for shipping! But of course it means something else. Box breathing can help ease tension and anxiety; you don\’t need any special equipment to do it — not even a box!
I had heard of the Buffalo Soldiers; but I didn\’t really know who they were, or what they were all about. This article is very interesting; and it shows that RAAM wasn\’t exactly a novel idea. Those fellows were made of some tough stuff. Can you imagine riding a 59-pound bicycle all those distances? And
