Another Cold Blast! 🥶

We’re expecting another cold blast. To be exact, it’s due Sunday night. Rain is possible before midnight; and with a low temperature of 28 degrees, I suppose snow is possible. Who can say for sure what another cold blast will bring?

Some parts of the country could get hit hard, with prolonged power outages possible. That doesn’t sound at all fun. If it were me, I would have to eat cold canned food; and I wouldn’t want to dress for a ride. I’d have to get out of my wraps to do so!

Several days with no electricity would be miserable in here. I believe the water heater is gas; but otherwise everything in this place is electric. I couldn’t even heat water to make hot chocolate! Thank goodness I have hand warmers; and some plushy wraps to bundle up in. And even if I can’t heat anything, I do have ample food.

Bundle Up 🧥

RAGBRAI 2025 Day Seven 7 spokeasy blog post another cold blast blog

I didn’t need to bundle up today; the afternoon temperature rose to about 70! The expression “bundle up”, though, makes me think of Pigs in Blankets. Or Mr. Pork Chop. I never got around to trying Mr. Pork Chop; but if I do RAGBRAI again, I hope I can.

But that might have to wait until next year. I still don’t have a road bike; but I hope I get one soon. The orthopedic surgeon says my elbow is fully healed; but before getting on a road bike again, I want to do some arm-strengthening!

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!
