It\’s been a lazy Sunday, in a way.

I finally decided to skip the ride today. I\’ve felt persistently tired; I think it\’s at least in part because my sinuses are acting up. My head feels stuffy. I figured I needed a rest.

It\’s rather a pity. Last night the forecast I checked was for very light winds, only 2-5 mph. That\’s a rarity, and it\’s much more pleasurable to ride when I don\’t have to work against a headwind. But now, at 1 pm, the wind is up to 10 mph and it\’s 90 degrees. It also seems to be clouding up.

So I didn\’t ride, but that gave me the chance to do some things that I usually don\’t do, such as some much-needed cleaning (normally I\’m quite a slob). I worked on blog posts, too. Sometimes that\’s pretty tough work, which sends lazy Sunday out the window.

It\’s now Grand Tour season, so I decided to write some posts about various bicycle events; not only the Grand Tours, but others, such as the Hotter\’N Hell 100.

The trick is not to schedule them so that they come up day after day. I\’d rather spread them out a bit; one or two a week, then the rest of the time I can blog about other stuff. But at the moment I need to get un-lazy and go wash the dishes.
