See-Saw 🥵🥶
Our weather thinks it’s a see-saw. It teeters back and forth between almost-hot and chilly; and can’t decide whether to be stormy or not.
That can make it hard to plan a ride. If it will be 70 degrees or more by the time I’m done, will vest plus jacket make me too warm? Or will the jacket alone have me too chilly for much of the ride? I see-saw back and forth when it comes to how much to put on.
Yes; I know they say it’s better to be a little underdressed than to wear too many layers; but what if you’re like me, and have difficulty tolerating cold weather? You can always put more on; but suppose you’re 10 miles from home; need another layer; but don’t have one with you?
The Weekend 🚴🏿
The weekend has been weird. Day before yesterday T-storms were hanging around; and there was even a tornado watch! I was relived when I had enough of a weather break yesterday morning to go to the salvage store. Not that I needed to get much; but I wanted the ride. I wish I weren’t so illiterate when it comes to telling what the weather might do.
The trip was worth it, too. Among other stuff, I found some Built Bars; the “puff” kind. They’re chocolate-coconut; and remind me a little of Mounds®.
By this morning the sky had cleared; but the wind was a bother. I had thought of pushing for 25 miles, but let it go at less than 20. Last night the temperature dropped to the low- to mid-50s; chillier than it’s been for a while. At least it feels more like March! It’s in the mid-60s at the moment; but by Thursday the see-saw is going to tilt in the opposite direction. The forecast predicts a high of 79!

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!
