What a Forecast! ⛈️ 🍃
What a forecast we’ve got for the upcoming week! I wish I had more rain gear.
Tomorrow, showers and T-storms are likely; especially in the morning. There could be heavy rain; and even when the storms are past, the ground is liable to be wet. I’ll have to resign myself to getting a wet, muddy stripe up my back. It will probably be windy; with gusts up to 20 mph.
Tuesday will be better; but the following two days are going to be windy; and more strong gusts are coming. What a forecast! All this crazy weather is complicating my RAGBRAI prep!
Try Try Again 😓
I’m still working to get my Sunday ride up to 40 miles; but I haven’t quite made it yet. Well — try, try again!
Today I rode out to the point where the levee bike path is closed. Then I doubled back; and went to the local park to ride some laps. It’s lucky I didn’t start my ride by doing those laps!
When I arrived at the park, I saw that some kind of event had taken place. If I had been trying to ride ’round and ’round the park two hours earlier, I likely would have had to leave the park. Some people in those walk/run events tend to wander into the bike lane; and that’s hazardous to both them and the cyclists. It makes me feel nervous.
But I did four laps. I had thought of doing five laps; but my legs were starting to tire; the wind was getting stronger; and I felt like I was running low on energy. Thus I decided to head home; and I thought that I can try, try again.
I hope the weather cooperates; but gosh, what a forecast we’ve got!

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!
