Snap? 🐊
I’ve never seen an alligator snap up a duck; although I’m sure it happens. There are both gators and ducks along the river! And no, I’m not meaning to make fun of the food stamps program. I hope it doesn’t vanish; SNAP is the only way some people can get enough to eat.
At the salvage store, I keep my eyes peeled for ride food; and when I find something, I snap it up. I’ll stock up even if I already have a good supply at home, because I don’t know when I’ll be able to get more.
I’ve been taking an easy week, with shorter rides; and no force exercises. Yesterday I did some pace work; alternating five minutes of pushing for 13-15 mph with five minutes of riding easily. I was a bit tired after almost an hour of that! I’ll try it again in a couple of days; and I hope I can keep cool while I’m at it.
Keep Cool 🧊
Keep cool? Easier said than done sometimes. Get a neck gaiter or a cool rag. Wet it; wring it; snap it. Then wear it. Oh, and I still have to try out my cooling vest. It hasn’t seemed quite hot enough for it so far; but that day is coming!
It would be great if I could keep cool by riding on a shady path; but there isn’t one here except the park. On Sundays, that path gets quite crowded; and to complicate things, there are families with young children. Little kids can be most unpredictable; and I don’t want to hit them when they suddenly run out in front of me.
It can be hard to keep cool, so to speak, when I must constantly dodge people on foot; so I think I’ll stick to the levee bike path.

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
