We Like Dust! 🧹
We like dust just now! According to news reports, a huge plume of Saharan dust is, at least for the present, inhibiting tropical storm development. Of course we’re happy that hurricanes aren’t popping up; and we all wish that they won’t!
I suppose off-trail riders also say, We like dust. Riders who go for such activities need a good helmet; but that sort of headgear doesn’t look very comfortable to me! I’m also not a big fan of mucking up my bicycle. It looks like that’s what off-trail riding is about, when it isn’t dusty.
Wash out the Sky 🌧️
For now, the rain has decided to wash out the sky. We actually needed some rain; but I hope it won’t keep pouring every day for three weeks. Even if we like dust, rain turns dust into mud; and then the mud gets tracked everywhere!
Having rain wash out the sky probably helps allergy sufferers. Lately, when I ride on the levee, I see white fuzz blowing around; and I guess it’s from all the willow trees. Or do we also have cottonwoods here? At any rate, I get home after a ride and start sneezing!
How much will I get to ride this weekend? Today we had a UV index of 12 (“extreme”). I was back from a ride to Walmart by 10:00 am; and I should be back home from the salvage store at about the same time tomorrow.
But Sunday? Either start very early (say, 5 am); or let the long ride wait for Monday.

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!
