Could those who forecast the weather for a living actually be right this time around? I hope so. They're saying sunshine all week long, with each day a little bit warmer than the previous one.
Looking at my schedule it seems like perhaps I could ride each day this week, Monday through Friday if this forecast holds. So I set a little goal for myself. We'll see if I can pull it off. A ride for five days a week at this time of year would be sweet.
I feel like I have really been drifting from riding here at the end of the season, and the eating season seems to have begun early. The eating season begins at Thanksgiving and runs through the start of the new year. As for October, it's still time to ride my friends.
I wanted to see if the Root River Parkway road was still out heading into Whitnall Park. It is. So I headed into the park via 84th/Gardenway and did a lap up Barn Hill before heading back.
The snotty nose is a constant reminder that indeed, fall is in the air. I simply spun and took it easy today, trying to just ease back into it.
Afterward my tri-athlete bud Rich had left a Park Tool at my place, which I needed to tighten up my second bottle cage on the Madone. I'm thinking I'll need it as the week wears on the rides grow longer.
Little goals help to motivate.
Check back to see if I can get a ride in M-F this week.
Season: 2,527 miles
I'm sorry to be a Grammar Nazi here, Phil, but when you write, "As for October, it's still time to ride my friends" you really mean, "As for October, it's still time to ride, my friends," don't you? Perhaps your friends are more, er, accommodating than mine. I know mine would demand the extra comma.
ReplyDeleteWhat, you don't ride your friends? I thought everyone did that!
