Real Ride Today! 🚴🏿
I finally got to go for a real ride today! It was wonderful to be on the road bike again; and it was great to see the sun again. I hope this lasts a few days!
Unfortunately a real ride today, outdoors, meant contending with headwinds; and that’s not so much fun. It was blowing at 12-15 mph; and gusts were as strong as 25 mph. Naturally, I had the headwind on the way home!
Hint of Fall? 🍂
Was this morning a hint of Fall? Last night’s low temperature was about 71 — far cooler than it’s been for several months — and when I stepped outdoors, I wished I had worn arm warmers instead of sun sleeves!
Cooler weather means no heat advisories; and I was able to leave the cool rag at home. Before I know it; going for a real ride will mean hand warmers!
I surprised myself today by eating less on the bike than usual. Fuel efficiency? Or did I simply eat too much yesterday? Time will tell, I guess. Speaking of time, it looks like this hint of Fall will last a few days. We’re glad of the break from the heat!

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!
