Miles Today: 4.9 Miles This Month: 13.7 Miles This Year: 13.7 It’s been one serious doozy of a week. On Tuesday we had a car accident (not our fault); on Thursday night/Friday morning the cops kept us awake by traipsing through our trailer park and back yard chasing a car thief or somesuch. In the [...]

Miles Today: 5.6 Miles This Month: 8.8 Miles This Year: 8.8 Went down to the car park again. Practised for a while, got Don on the back, then brought us home. I didn’t enjoy having the passenger – it’s not that he’s a bad one, it’s just that it’s too much to handle at this [...]

Earlier today, I sent the final corrections of my novel, Rhaeva, in. This was the end of a very long process which has been time-consuming and surprisingly stressful – and the start of a new chapter. Got on my bike kegs and showed up at Don’s door looking hopeful. We went to Krispy Kreme and [...]

First ride of the year. As it turns out, we went only as far as the cigarette shop for Don to stock up, but it was a nice, cold and crisp day, so we enjoyed it. The carb problem is starting to clear up, so maybe it was just some bad juice.
