I kept coming across the expression \”rabbit rabbit\” in social media; and wondered what it was about. It\’s a good luck formula!

If you say \”rabbit rabbit\” aloud; the first thing after you wake up; on the first day of the month; it\’s supposed to bring good fortune. Or maybe a present. It\’s too bad I didn\’t know about that, or I would have said it Monday when I woke up. But as my birthday is approaching, I might get a present, anyway.

When I awaken in the morning, my mind is usually on the bicycle ride; and I\’m not thinking about bunnies, unless I wonder whether I\’ll see one during my ride. I haven\’t see one for some time; but I guess they\’re still around.

I didn\’t spot any interesting wildlife during today\’s long ride. I\’ve extended said long ride to 40.4 miles. I was dismayed that my average speed was slower than last Sunday\’s; but then I went back and checked my log. The wind was stronger today than it was last Sunday; so that might account for my pokiness. My legs really felt the effort today, too.

I also slowed myself down by walking my bicycle over one of the humps out there. Since I began going out that far again, the surface of one side of that hump is all torn up! It\’s two big, nasty potholes; and today I simply did not feel like trying to ride through them. At such moments I wish I were on a mountain bike; and I hope the path gets repaired soon.

Milestones

I\’m little short of some milestones; and I don\’t need to say \”rabbit rabbit\” to get there.

My road bike is almost to the long-term mileage total of 30K; and unless something really drastic happens, I should be able to ride those 50.84 miles within the coming week.

Thy hybrid is almost to 16K miles; not quite 23 miles to go! Incidentally, I wonder how many miles that hybrid would have on it now, if I had never bought the road bike.

Another milestone is that November 14 will mark 12 years of cycling! I never imagined this when I decided to get the tricycle; and it just goes to show that you never know what might happen.

I think next Sunday I\’ll ride an additional mile or two; and hope for a calm day. Rabbit rabbit!
