Farsighted 🤓
Sometimes we have to be farsighted; and I don’t mean the vision you can get with binoculars. We’ve got to look ahead to the weather we might encounter on a ride.
Yesterday evening I checked the forecasts for today; tomorrow; and Sunday. The first two days looked all right; but Sunday’s forecast is a different story. Rain, and even T-storms, all day long!
That doesn’t bode well for my weekly long ride. I decided that a long ride today wasn’t the best thing, because I did some intense riding yesterday; and tomorrow I want to go to the salvage store.
Of course I can go to the store; then go for a spin on the road bike afterwards. It looks like it won’t be too hot; and there shouldn’t be much wind. Then, if things are really foul on Sunday, I can take a day off from riding. I’ve got to be farsighted!
Looking Ahead 👁️
Cyclists are also looking ahead in general; especially cyclists who are in serious training. They must be farsighted as they plan their season: choosing which races are the most important; setting up a training schedule that lets them “peak” as those important races come up; planning their diet; and whatever else needs attention.
It would all be a bit too much for me; so I’m glad I don’t have to be looking ahead farther than a few days. Yeah, I know, I’ve got notions of RAGBRAI 2025 floating around in my head. That certainly requires some looking ahead. But I’ve got time to plan.

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!
