Melting Point 🫠
Now that the weather is warming up, I must keep the melting point of various ride foods in mind. Gatorade Bars, for instance. Gatorade Bars have a chocolate coating; and that gets half-melted in a hurry. Even on cold days, it can be quite a mess if the weather is sunny. If only I could carry a cooler along on my rides!
This morning it was some 10 degrees cooler than it was yesterday; and I did such a short ride that I didn’t need to bother with ride food. Thus the melting point was of no concern today. But I don’t expect this cooler spell to last long. Soon it will stay at 80 degrees overnight!
Slump? 😴
I feel like I’m in quite a slump, because I didn’t ride much at all today. I may as well have stayed in the sack all day!
But I can get going again tomorrow; and I could go out right now. Much of the rain seems to have missed us; and now the sun is trying to come out. But I already totaled up this past week’s mileage and time; and I don’t feel like re-doing it. There’s the slump again!
I probably don’t have to worry about the melting point tomorrow. The predicted high temperature is about 72; yesterday morning’s LOW temperature!
Cooler weather also means I can cook without getting too hot. This morning’s mini-ride was to pick up bananas and zucchini. My freezer is starting to get rather empty; and I want to make squashed sauce!

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!
