Yes; it\’s a TWOderful day! As we typically write dates here in the USA, today is 2/22/22. It’s Two’s across the board; and forwards and backwards as well, which makes it a palindrome date. On top of that, today is “TWOSday”! I went \”twosies\” yesterday as well. The drug store had a special on their […]
If Team Novo Nordisk provides inspiration, there\’s more inspiration to be found in the story of Leo Rodgers. It amazes me to see people who have only one leg still riding bicycles. And Mr. Rodgers does more than just ride! Could I keep riding if I lost a leg? Would I even want to? I
I admire the folks on Team Novo Nordisk; and in fact, they\’re quite an inspiration. The members of Team Novo Nordisk — which includes pro cyclists; triathletes; and runners — all have Type I diabetes. Managing this condition takes a lot of hard work to begin with; and imagine juggling it with pro-level athletic training!

It\’s waterproof and windproof; and a built-in ventilation system helps to minimize stuffiness. The suit folds to small size for easy storage or carrying. Unisex design. Material is odorless.

Sometimes I feel like I\’m streaking. Twice in the past week, I forgot to wear my reflective vest when I went out on the bike; and when I realize that I don\’t have it, I feel naked! It\’s a good thing I\’m not. To begin with, it\’s too cold for such shenanigans; and at my
Is my body fighting back? They say that, if you lose weight, your body has a tendency to try to get back to your pre-loss weight! A good bathroom scale can help you keep on track; and I, for one, need that. Over the past week or two, my weight is bouncing all over the
Weather forecasts often seem like prophets of doom. A forecast I checked yesterday predicted heavy fog for this morning; and then I didn’t see any fog. I’m not complaining about the absence of fog; but sometimes I don’t know what to prepare for when planning a ride! One weather site said 40% chance of showers;
This morning I felt like a rolling disco. My headlight began flickering; and it made me think of a disco scene that I saw on television many years ago. I was sure that I had charged that light; but maybe I forgot. I don\’t want to be one of those people who ride in the
I’m falling apart at the seams! Or coming undone at the joints; or something. Last December, blood work showed a CCP level of 73, which can mean rheumatoid arthritis; and today I got a firm diagnosis. So now I have yet another condition to keep under control; and another prescription on my list. The rheumatologist
\”Last one in is the rotten egg!\” So went the shout when a group of kids was racing to see who could reach a goal first; and who would finish dead last. I recall the 2018 Tour de Cure, when I was the rotten egg. I averaged only 12.28 mph; and that\’s not any too
