A trial, yes; and I hope it wasn\’t an error!

Today, for the first time, I hitched the trailer to my road bike for the trek to the salvage store. The hybrid is in the shop, so it was that or skip going to the store.

The road bike isn\’t fitted with a rack, which meant either 1) using the trailer; or 2) buying very little. I wanted to stock up on canned goods, so I used the trailer.

Pedaling the road bike to pull that trailer feels very different from riding the hybrid while hauling the trailer. I hope this trial wasn\’t too much for poor \”Scottie\’s\” rear spindle! I guess I\’ll find out soon enough, and I hope I won\’t be sorry.

That might or might not occur tomorrow. The weather outlook isn\’t so great right now. There are currently six tropical systems under surveillance! We could have tropical storm conditions by Monday night. I know we\’re in peak hurricane season, but six at once is a bit much. Have the tropics been taking steroids?

Even if I can\’t ride tomorrow, I have plenty of \”homework\” to do. I need to work on my FEF lists, and I have my new book to read. Maybe I\’ll do some cooking, too. At any rate, I have plenty to keep me busy.
