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

not much this weekend but in mid June I'm flying up to PA to see my mom and family. Since I'm flying I won't be able to stop by in Knoxville for more pleasant conversation. I'm sure this is devastating news. maybe another time.

Just bicycle commuting to our 8am shop ride, then working until 5. I always love the ride home, it’s almost all downhill and there are some lovely places to stop and decompress.

No plans for Sunday.

It's been the weekend all week for me. Finally I'm on schedule. Tomorrow I will ride to the next village over and see if I want to mow every couple weeks, for the snowbirders. Sunday, after a light workout, we go to lunch at our friend's house on the beach. There might be some painting mixed in n there.
The Springtime heat has returned. 40 degrees proper today.

I cut the weeds in the north 40 yesterday then it drizzled last night and probably again tonight so the stupid things can grow back. Normally nothing grows here after the rain stops. I think we had 10 inches of rain this year.

Do you work on a mountain? Hard to find more than 1-2 miles of downhill otherwise.

Should I :

A. Say “hey, I thought you guys are not allowed to celebrate your birthday!”
B. Offer to buy him a coffee/latte/cappuccino at the cafe after the birthday ride
C. Keep such subversive ideas to myself

I am thinking C is the most mature approach.
D. Make him ride his age! ie. age 55= you ride 55 miles, and you make him do most of the pulls!

We have rain off and on all day, supposedly. We'll see.

BTW, it's 56° at the moment with a high of 64° predicted.
