Melt-Off 🫠
The melt-off is in progress; and a boot dryer would come in handy. If I had boots, that is!
A lot of the snow has melted; but there are still patches of ice and slush. I’m not sure I dare to try riding outdoors yet; especially as it will go down go 32 degrees tonight. That’s barely freezing; but it could re-freeze melted snow and create dangerous slick patches. I think it would be wise to wait until the melt-off is more complete; and that means skipping the salvage store tomorrow. 😞
But I NEED Exercise! 🚲
But I NEED exercise! A half-hour or so in the trainer simply doesn’t cut the mustard! So, exciting though the snow was, I’m ready for it to be off the ground. I want and need to get back to my normal mileage; so this melt-off is actually quite welcome.
Indoor pedaling would be more interesting if I could do virtual touring; but I don’t have the equipment for it. But I need exercise; and how nice it would be to “see” someplace different as I ride!
Maybe I can go for a jaunt tomorrow afternoon. They say it will get up to the mid-50s; so by noon or so I guess I’ll be able to manage the roads. And day after tomorrow, up to the mid-60s! That’s a bit closer to normal for the season; and it ought to complete the melt-off.

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!
