I'd like to go for an easy spin for a couple hours but winds are predicted @45mph where the flat bike path is and 35mph at home.

Scattered thunderstorms. To ride or not to ride? Riding and there would surely be rain. Not riding it would surely be fair weather.

I hope the final Wordle is "CRWTH" and wrecks everyone's final streaks.

When we had our sailboat, I’d ask my wife to point it into the wind so I could raise the sails. Her response was that she couldn’t because the wind was all around us.

Jamaican coach at the Sunsail dinghy resort on Antigua (highly recommend): “Where the wind coming from?”
Junior coach (also a superb sailor) standing in audience of sailboard novices: “It coming from up in the sky!”

Went out for a 60, only achieved 36. Broke a spoke on the front ksyrium wheel. Zoikies! is that out of true! Super windy too.

Another good ride in. I had a decent week of riding, and although I am on top of the leaderboard for altitude, I am barely on the mileage podium and expect to get kicked off.

Do they allow cyclists on the bridge to Canada?

If you mean the Ambassador Bridge, the answer is no.

Looks like it was a little choppy in Duluth yesterday.

Phooey. Bunch of guys paid for a race and wanted to do a group ride. Of course, they had no issue chasing me down when I went on a flyer, then they commenced to trading recipes again. 5th-6th. Something like that. Doing a bunch sprint on a straight downhill road is what nightmares are made of.

neither bridge allows cyclists. You would have to take a ferry. But I think they are shut down.

Also, they come with the special Mavic proprietary nipple. Needs a special wrench.

The mighty Pirates took 3 out of 4 against the Cubs in Chicago. That 3 touchdown win on Saturday for the Cubbies was cold comfort.
