Gray and Warm 🐨
Today was gray and warm, which makes me think of a cuddly-looking koala bear. Not that I want to hug one; I remember hearing that a koala’s hair is very stiff and wiry; and feels like Brillo!
At least gray and warm means I can ride without getting chilled, even if it rains. Which it did for the first half-hour or so of my ride. I stuck to my plan and went into park mode. I was glad when the rain stopped; and thankfully, it never rained very hard. Even so, my Ray-Bans got wet; and made visibility a bit of problem.
I started out wearing a poncho; and even when the rain stopped, I left it on. Who knew when it might begin to rain again; and if it did, I wanted to be ready.
Rain Rain Go Away 💦
Rain, rain, go away, as the old song
goes. I wish it would; or at least, that it would restrict its activity to the overnight hours. Unfortunately, there are further chances of rain over the next two days; and it will continue to be gray and warm.
I have appointments on two days this week; and I hope the rain gives me a “breathing space” so I can ride my hybrid, instead of using other modes of transportation. I want to get in my miles!
It’s several weeks since I’ve done any work to improve my pace; and I need to get back to it. I’ve been focusing on my mileage goal; and I know from years of reading, that trying to ramp up both distance and intensity at the same time isn’t wise. So rain, rain, go away. Little Johnny wants to play; and I want to get out there and ride!

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!
