Tricks 🤡
The wind was up to its tricks yesterday morning; and that can be startling.
I tried working on my pace; and outward-bound, I seemed to be doing fine. What I didn’t realize was that I had a tailwind! It was a bit of a jolt to turn around to head home; and find that I had a headwind.
Such tricks are most aggravating. Next ride, pay more attention to wind speed and direction before I set out; lately I’ve paid more attention to temperature and rain chances.
Speaking of wind, there’s a huge dust cloud from the Sahara blowing this way. I hope it doesn’t cause too many problems for anyone.
Speaking of Wind 🌬️
Speaking of wind, I decided to get an Arctic Air Fan to blow cool (well, cooler) air on me. It’s worth trying one, to see whether it really lets me chill out. So far I’ve used it only indoors; I wanted to do a trial run before using the fan on a bicycle ride.
It might get very hot during RAGBRAI; and like everyone else, I’ll want to keep cool. I intend to take a cool rag along; but I want another way to beat the heat.
I hope there’s room in my luggage for this wearable fan. It seems like I’m adding to the pile of RAGBRAI stuff every time I turn around. I think need a few tricks for packing!

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!
