I started out this morning going back and forth in my head about whether to go up Old La Honda (3.1 miles, 1300 feet, 7.4% average grade). By the time I hit the turnoff, I was in a "what the heck, why not?" mood, so I took the turn and did the climb. Beat my best (recent) time by 35 seconds. I was feeling so good when I got back down I went ahead with a long ride. 65.5 miles. Now I'm covered for 'Ride Your Age' for this year, even though my birthday is in November.
Riding along Arastradero, I saw some wildlife....

One of these weeks I'll blow up the leader board.
You'll see. You'll all see. And you'll rue the day.

UPDATE: The bread rose, but not to the desired height. The yeast jar had been open for many months, and the use by date was April. #StudiesInFungi

Actually my left knee is still pretty sore and really stiffens. Old bones heal slow.
This week will be light also, unfortunately. Have a short trial Tuesday/Wednesday, college graduation Thursday, and then move the rest of the kid’s stuff home.

The brisket I promised my wife for Mother’s Day was an abject failure. Started this morning and the thing is still cooking. Had to improvise for dinner.
