Woke up to thunder, lightning, and pouring rain. Good day to have already not had a run on the schedule.

Got 18 miles in this morning. Still getting used to the bike. I still can’t seem to get the seat where I want it. I moved it back 2 mm this morning and that got the resistance I was feeling in my legs to go away, but I still don’t feel like I am distributing my energy In an efficient manner. I still feel like I am working a lot harder and not going any where.

As I continue to wake, I'm considering my Wed ride. I just looked at the weather and I'm seeing 17mph winds coming from due north. With winds this stiff, I usually like to plan my route so that I deal with the worst of the wind on the way out and get a break on the way back. I don't think that I've ever had a route that heads out primarily northwards, though.

only chance I’ll likely get is a quick 25 at lunch

A butcher at a market I frequent has frozen camel patties among other exotic meats. Double dog dare me?

My wife's bday was over the weekend. I went out for a ride, but only after getting up early, baking a bday cake for her and making breakfast for the family. If you don't have brownie points in the bank, make sure you plan on earning some when you get back from your ride.
