the new bike computer arrived today. Works well so pretty stoked. The instructions were terrible though, had to take a couple of breaks and walk away trying to set it up.

Im hoping it means I'm starting to find some kind of fitness.. I gotta lose this weight and get back in shape. (Sigh) every year same song. I have little discipline.

sounds a little dangerous trying to cycle that way? I usually ride on an empty stomach first thing in the morning but if I am going over 25 miles I bring food with me.

1. Work is getting busy again.
2. I’ve gone feral on the bike. Only sometimes follow my schedule, prefer riding solo to companioned. There’s talk of a TT back on the schedule for July and my thought is “that would require discipline”. Which I’m equivocal on reobtaining.
3. Long ride yesterday. 80ish Miles/ 6500ish feet. Something of a cluster but I got it done.
4. Cleaned out and reorganized a portion of the kitchen cabinets. Aka the liquor portion. Then moved on to the cookbooks. Tomorrow I hope to tackle the pantry.
5. Mr H turned me on to the Marble Olympics on ESPN. Oddly compelling.
I can’t possibly read back over everything. Are their noteworthy highlights? Or same old, same old?

Holy carp. A local cyclist who I know (not well, but I have done some group rides with him and follow him on Strava) Everested yesterday and he did it on a fairly short hill just a few miles from here.
That is dedication. Or foolish. Prolly both.
