Yesterday was Heimkehr — I’m back from a visit to my sister. While there, I took a break from pretty much everything.
I gave my legs a break from the bike; and I gave my hands a break from the keyboard. But now that Heimkehr is past, I’m ready to get back to riding. Early in the day, of course; extreme heat warnings are posted for the next three or four days. 🥵
A trip to the salvage store — not quite 11 miles round trip — was a nice way to get started cycling again. I decided to go today, because it looks like it might be raining Saturday. And do we need it!
What about the Tropics? 🌀
OK, but what about the tropics? Inland Washington State doesn’t have hurricanes; but my last few days there, I began to watch the NHC site again. I’m glad to say, the tropics are quiet for now. Everyone hopes they stay that way!
After about a week, I must begin doing hard efforts again. I don’t want to push intense woek too much, too soon; but it’s not as though I were off the bike for several months.
