My Timing Was Off
My timing was off when I rode very early yesterday morning, hoping to see the comet. Today I learned that it should be visible early tomorrow; so I’ve got to set my alarm clock early.
That means making sure my headlight is fully charged; and wearing my reflective vest. It also means using extra caution; all the more as I no longer ride before daybreak all the time. I hope I remember to turn on my tail light this time, too!
Yesterday I got my road bike back from the shop; and it was great to be riding it again. Unfortunately my legs felt tired. In addition, I didn’t get going until about 7:30 am; and it was already quite hot. Before I got back home, I wished I had electrolyte drink with me. I guess my timing was off again.
It looks like the weather will be clear early tomorrow; good news for star-gazers. And, of course, good news for riding! But it will be hot again tomorrow. Good grief, it’s September! It ought to be cooling off a little bit.
If it did get cooler, it might help push hurricanes away. Fortunately Hurricane Lee doesn’t seem likely to head our way.
