Sunday stuff can vary. It nearly always means long-ride day, but I usually don\’t grocery shop on Sundays.

I usually don\’t ride before daylight on Sundays, either; but this morning I did. Tomorrow is the full moon, and the forecast says mostly cloudy. I already missed two months of seeing the moonlight on the river, thanks to overcast skies.

So I set off on the road bike at around 5:25 am. I saw what I wanted 🙂 I rode slow and easy, so I could get a really good look. I kept it short, too, so I\’d have the energy to go out for a ride later.

Then breakfast; and off to Whole Foods on the hybrid. I should have eaten a little more breakfast! I got hungry and bought an oatmeal-raisin cookie to munch before riding back home. And I didn\’t remember about getting carrots until several hours afterwards! Fortunately I still have enough carrots to last through this week.

After that, a banana for a snack; fill up the Camel-Bak; cut up a Luna Bar for on-bike snacking; and take off on the road bike!

I put in 21.20 miles. As is all too usual, I had a headwind on the way back home. I put in some 40-second efforts of riding hard into the wind; also unusual for Sunday. It was mostly clear when I went out moon-watching, but during this ride it became increasingly cloudy. Now the sun is dodging in and out.

Enough riding? Not quite. I rode the hybrid to the drug store. I hoped that they would have plastic food-storage containers; but they don\’t. Go to Walmart come Saturday.

Next on the agenda of Sunday stuff: cooking. Brown rice, kale, and maybe another recipe from the ADA Vegetarian Cookbook!
