Worry Is Wasted? Worry is wasted, some folks say; and sometimes, it is. I was concerned about the weather for today. Forecasts had been predicting rain; and I wasn’t sure what time it might arrive. This morning it was overcast; but it wasn’t raining yet. So I checked NOAA; and it indicated that the rain […]
Turkey Roll? Turkey roll sounds like a kind of submarine sandwich. And in fact, many folks are eating turkey today. That’s quite the usual for Thanksgiving. My turkey roll was a ride! I didn’t put in any more miles than usual for a weekday; and that sure makes me feel lazy. But I didn’t take
FAIT ACCOMPLI!! Fait Accompli! Success! I made it! Today I rolled up to my Love to Ride 2022 mileage goal: 5000 miles by December 30. I thought I could do it, and I was right; although I didn’t expect to finish six weeks early! I’m not sure I want to set another goal for this year.

Slowing Down I’m going to be slowing down the blogging. I enjoy it (most of the time); but I need to work on other aspects of this website. Something has to give. It can’t be riding. I’ll go crazy from inactivity if I stop cycling; and I’m eager to meet my Love to Ride goal.
