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

For a couple of months I've had a weird set of torso rashes that I first thought were me being my normal itchy self and scratching too hard, then figured had to be a food allergy. After a few weeks of that failing, it looks exactly like post-covid urticaria. If so, it would work out so that I got it on that Hawai'i trip. No loss of taste or smell, nor any other symptoms.

FML.

Going to try to find an antibody test for tomorrow.

My daughter had a severe cold which led to severe bronchitis. She’s doing better now but she’s still coughing and not her full throttle self. I was heading to work yesterday and in the morning I started feeling pretty bad. My flight was delayed which ended up being a good thing, I felt worse and worse. Ended up calling out. today I feel even worse.


Weather is absolutely perfect too btw.

If it requires an "e," is the "e" really superfluous?

My olde Ford Fiesta's speedo only went to 80. I'd try to make sure to bury it every time I got on the freeway.

I think it was a 1980, so it was actually just old I guess.

I know. I used to have a pair of their trunks. Unfortunately, they were not long enough to hide my cycling shorts tan lines.

Throat ache?

As posted on Strava, I've been dealing with a persistent cough for a few weeks, ever since I had bout with a cold. It's caused by a throat irritation. Some kind of nasal drip?

I had a similar problem about four years ago. Back then I saw the doctor, throat doctor, and they didn't help much. It eventually went away. I've thought it might be some kind of allergy, but I didn't have this lasting problem last year, or the year before, so .

Whatever it is, it seems to slowly be going away, again. Maybe.

Other than that, I'm doing just fine.
