Miles Today: 10.6 Miles This Month: 71.5 Miles This Year: 104.3 Heh! Got over that 100 mile “hurdle”. This was not a fun ride but it was a good ride. It was both the longest and the fiddliest to date. I rode to Walgreen’s, shopped, rode to the bank, got cash (and a nasty balance [...]

Miles Today: 4.9 Miles This Month: 60.9 Miles This Year: 93.7 I rode to the post office today. Not just that, but I enjoyed it and did much better. I am now cornering sometimes in 2nd gear, instead of a very cautious 1st gear. I feel my observation and positioning is improving. Lovely sunny day, [...]

I failed to ride to Deann’s and kicked myself every minute of the way. It was a lovely sunny day, and a real missed opportunity to push the envelope.

I met up with Karen, who lives unbelievably close to where I do. What fun! We spent several hours chatting, laughing, and playing with cats and gardens. I have “garden envy”.

Miles Today: 14.2 Miles This Month: 50.9 Miles This Year: 83.7 I went out for a fast and furious ride with Don this afternoon. We got our tax stuff done, signed, ready. I had left it to the last minute because I’m so depressed about the whole thing: no income for 18 months, to all [...]

Miles Today: 14.1 Miles This Month: 36.7 Miles This Year: 69.5 After an incredibly wet day yesterday, I wasn’t sure if there would be any opportunity to ride, but I looked at the sky and decided to chance it. Each time the decision to ride is a little easier, and I’ve been getting wyrd-clues; I [...]

Went for a gloriously nice ride today. We set out about three, which on Friday is the beginning of the rush hour around here. It was a bit of a rough ride on the motorway to the coast, but we got there in an hour, taking highway 92 off 101 (I include these in case [...]
