Parts of the legs is all that\’s left now of this water tower. My old landmark is vanishing.

My own legs are acting up. Because of Cycle September, I\’ve been riding more than usual. My hamstrings sure are feeling it, so I did a shorter ride than usual today.

I\’m glad I did, because the wind coming back home felt pretty tough.  It was wearing me out. The clouds were building up, which meant occasional relief from the sun; it\’s still in the 80s!

It might help my legs if I prodded myself into using the foam roller more often. I don\’t like to use it right after a long ride, when I have sunblock all over me. Yes, I could wash it off, but I\’m too lazy. Very likely I also need to do more stretching, more often.

On the whole, I seem able to pedal harder lately; but now I also seem to be more \”squirrely\”. I waver from my line too much and too often. I guess I need to do more to strengthen my core, so my leg motion can brace itself better against said core. There\’s a lot  more to cycling than just legs.
