Morning Looks Like Morning! 🌅 Morning looks like morning! It’s wonderful to be off of Daylight Time. But I’d better enjoy this “morning looks like morning” while I can, because soon it won’t get light until at least 7 am. If you need to ride when it’s still dark, a set of Bike Wheel Lights make you more visible; and is especially good for kids who must ride to school before daylight. Bike Wheel Lights come in many different colors; so there’s a set for everyone! Plodding Along 🐌 I’m still podding along on the hybrid. The shop isn’t finished with my road bike; but I hope I’ll have it back very soon. Not that plodding along doesn’t mean I can’t get in the miles; it just takes longer. I don’t have to go to work, so time is much less of an issue than it once was. And remember, the tortoise beat the hare! I was surprised when I went out at about 7:00 am; and it was light! Overnight, I somehow forgot about the time switch. I wanted to get in those miles early, because the wind was expected to get stronger later in the morning. Of course, it was an easterly wind; but I beat the worst of it home. Even if there had been a very strong headwind to fight, at least morning looks like morning.

All Is Relative

All Is Relative 👺 😇 We always hear that all is relative. It might mean the length of a ride; or it might mean how bad the rain is. When it hasn’t rained much for weeks, any rain seems like a lot (all is relative!); and such was the case with me this morning. I heard it raining at about 5 am; but by six o’clock there were only a few scattered drops flying around. I set out to ride, wearing my poncho in case it began to rain heavily. It was a wise move, because I did run into heavier rain about three miles out. I had to stop; dismount; and take my hemet off so I cold pull the poncho’s hood over my head. And That Wasn’t All ☔️ My ride got some rain; and that wasn’t all that Mother Nature threw at us. We went to visit some relatives; and on the way home it poured. On top of that, there was a terrible rush-hour traffic jam. It was the kind of stop-and-go crawl that drives you nuts; and I sure felt sorry for my sister, who was doing the driving. Today I decided to skip the salvage store. I don’t need to do any restocking; and I need a few extra hours’ sleep. Then I went for a ride. Since all is relative, an 18-mile jaunt now seems pretty short!
