Still Blue 🔵
The Mississippi is still blue — sort of. It didn’t have quite the same bluish-green appearance as yesterday; but it was still blue. I wish I had thought to take a picture of it then.
Today I didn’t work on my pace; I simply rode. It’s not wise to do hard work every single day; from what I’ve read, not even pro cyclists do that kind of training. I do need to put my attention on building up, though; even if I skip RAGBRAI this year.
Building Up 🛠️
I’m continuing to work at building up. My daily distances are still only 8-11 miles; but at least once a week, I include hard efforts. I need that to regain my leg strength!
I’m starting to think about long Sunday rides again. Would it be too much, too soon if I pushed for an 18-mile ride? I can do 10 miles or so without trouble; so 18 miles should be quite doable. If I ride at a moderate pace, that is!
How soon can I get back on a road bike? Today I tried a few knees-on-the-floor push-ups; and they still make my left arm ache a bit around the elbow. So maybe I’m not quite ready for the road bike; but I hope I will be soon.

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!
