OCD tends to run in the family, so a cousin once told me. Maybe I\’ve got a streak of OCD, myself.

Not enough so that the sight of this disorderly heap of puzzle pieces would drive me crazy; but as I near the seventh anniversary of the day I bought my road bike, I\’m approaching the 25K-mile mark. I feel a compulsion to get there, too.

At present I have a hair over 77 miles to go. And six days to ride those miles, so I should be able to make it. My weekly long ride will cover almost half of those miles.

Incidentally, the forecast for the weekend doesn\’t look so great; this is the second weekend in a row. I\’ll be taking vacation tomorrow and next week, so maybe I can just switch the day. Doing a long ride tomorrow might not be wise, as I did force efforts today. Maybe Monday?

Plan for tomorrow: an easy ride on the road bike; then ride the hybrid to get some groceries. I\’m gearing up for another cooking marathon! I\’ll see how the weather forecasts go for the next two days; it might be that the greatest chances of rain are for the afternoons. That means I can ride in the morning, and probably stay dry.

And what else shall I do during vacation? Sleep until 8 o\’clock! Work on my web site; I\’m considering further reconstruction. Compose blogs! I just must watch that I don\’t get OCD about my wording.
