Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Through the trees, we caught a brief glimpse of a small car with a broken windshield and a shirtless runner laying in blood, in the middle of the crosswalk linking the two parks. Just soul-crushing. One of my guys said that he saw the runner moving, so hopefully he'll be okay.

******g idiot drivers.
Doesn’t sound good. You ask me, automobiles are a ******g disease.

I just can’t. I know it is aligned, and I know deep down I did it right, but still can’t let it go until I verify with instruments. I’m taking medication for it, and talking to my therapist about it regularly, we think in a year or two I will be ready to align the saddle through eyeballing.

I don't really follow them too closely. Just enough to make chit-chat with patients who are fans. So I am aware of events of yesterday but it does not bother me much.

Mist is rare down here. All burned off now and getting hot. Should get ready to pull up the anchor and motor down the creek to the nearby marina for some ice for drinks, but the boat is still covered with dew and if I walk around the decks, I’ll get them dirty.

Yowsa. After yesterday's ride, I weighed in this morning about 3 lbs lighter than the day before. That might explain why I'm still in a MOREMOREMORE mode when it comes to calories and water.
