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

Resting between weights and the bike ride. Sun is out for a bit, at least. Still recovering from Christmas Light installation.... I picked this week instead of the week of Thanksgiving, which was some kind of divine intervention. Next week is going to be cold and wet, and since I schedule time off months ahead, I somehow picked correctly.

I've been busy talking both myself and my wife in to DIYing a significant chunk of the kitchen remodel. Even with the not-insignificant tool purchases (which is one of my primary motivations, if I'm being honest - we've already covered the whole I'm-a-gear-hound thing) we'd be saving a metric ****-ton of money on the cabinets alone. As is often the case when stretching out of the comfort zone of your known abilities, it's equal parts scary and exciting.

You can do cabinetry. Once the carcasses are hung, it's all gravy.

I had to make an unexpected trip to Merida, for a special catfood, for cats who suffer from UTI on normal food. My wife was in yesterday but I forgot to put it in the list.

No ride for me today. I'll be prepping the bike and myself(resting) for the first longish ride of the season. I expect it will take me three hours. Going to the North coast to help a friend sort out her art collection so she can make a will. I'll spend the night and ride back Monday afternoon.
Not very efficient in terms of time, but the bicycle time must be pushed
during the short period of nice weather.

Stage 1 of journey done. We made it to NJ. After a brief visit with family, heading to JFK. Will have a short visit in London before moving on to Andalucía.

Heh. And here I was more concerned with the consequences of success than with the consequences of failure. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Stopped by the bakery-café, when I was in Cazenovia today, and got one of their brownies.

Made it to JFK and checked in. Boarding starts in 1 hour. No cycling content. Sad.

You've had more brownies this week than I have had in 6 months. What is wrong with me?
