Seriously, though, I feel the best I’ve felt since being on a respirator after breaking 12 ribs and a few other bones back in 2016. It’s like my body finally woke up last Spring and said, “Let’s roll!”

Depending on how many of you are flying, you may want to just end your US originating flight at Gatwick and pay extra cash for an inter-city shuttle to Spain. I do this sometimes when I use reward point to get across the ocean. For less than $100 each person we can change to a shuttle flight in from almost any European capital to other European cities. That is easier than trying to find a reward itinerary going exactly where you want to go. Question is whether those fly from Gatwick or just Heathrow. If bottom line I had that kind of layover at Gatwick, I would take the train into the city, see some sights, have a good meal, maybe even take an inexpensive hotel room to get a shower and a nap. The trains are so reliable, it is dead easy.

We have never spent much time in Amsterdam but had an ugly layover there once. We used it to go into the city and see the Anne Frank house. Then had lunch at a favorite globally located noodle house chain, Wagamama , and then back to the airport. Worked great. Very worthwhile.

No ride here in Houston today. Tropical storm rolled through last night. Already downgraded to depression, but heavy rain forecast do all day and much of tomorrow. Some flooding expected. Worst thing is I have upper eyelid surgery scheduled for this morning. Not sure whether to try to get over to the surgery suite or not. Stay tuned.

Beautiful morning on the Patuxent after some heavy upwind bashing to get here in yesterday’s cold front. Hope there’s enough wind left to get us to the Choptank today.

Last night, I went to sleep with my typical Wed ride debate in mind: longer solo ride in the morning or shorter group ride in the evening? This morning, I woke to steady rain. Guess that answers that.

Someone I know texted me at 5:10 this morning. That's just not right.

Grilled monkfish with olive parsley salsa. It's what's for dinner.
