Addendum-de-dum-dum: JFB, you must have deleted your post and then re-entered it just as I was posting my answer. Otherwise I have no way to explain the non-causal quantum-mechanical time-shift of my answer appearing before you question.
Hey jmm
Thanks for your reply, or shall I say
prelude? I just noticed the addendum and you are right, I accidentally sent the post, then deleted it to finish properly about an hour later. I was so posted out by composing it that I hoped you would figure it out.
Among the reasons I try to ride as much as I can in the summer besides that it beckons, and I try to train for a century, is that I want to savor and grab all summer gusto I can. For me, writing a detailed (long) ride report is a way to journal and preserve the experience to appreciate later; kind of like canning summer fruits and vegetables to enjoy in the winter.
