Perhaps taking a bike ride can cure a common headache.
I didn't have a good night sleep, which is rare for me. The dog kept barking at something she either heard or smelled in the yard, which many times means the deer were around munching the plants!
Anyway, I woke up with a very sore left elbow. It dawned on me that on Monday while walking into a store the heavy door closed quickly behind me and smacked me in that elbow. I guess the effects took a while to take hold.
After recording my Thursday PhilCast show I had also developed a headache and some eye strain. I felt like I was falling apart so I laid down for about 45 minutes.
When I got up I grabbed a sandwich for lunch and decided despite the headache hanging around I would go out and soak up a little sunshine on the Roubaix, just going down to Loomis and back.
Headache gone. Wonderful.
Nothing fancy here, just some good old fashioned exercise on the bike.
On the way back in Root River Parkway I had a young guy pass me, wearing not only no helmet but no shirt either. Ah to be young and foolish again.
Oh, and I think that was Craig Busche riding past me in the other direction close to home on the path nearing Bluemound. Too bad I didn't see him earlier and then we could have ridden together for a while.
Due to my schedule I can tell you that there is no more riding in my future until after Labor Day Monday.
So until then, enjoy your holiday weekend.
We've got two full months of wonderful riding ahead of us. Some of the best weather of the year happens in September, and October provides some of the best scenery of the season on two wheels.
Do you map your rides? I usually go downtown, Whitnall Park, or New Berlin Trail - sometimes to Pewaukee. Looking for something new. Andy B.M.A.
ReplyDeleteGlacial Drumlin Trail west from NB trail into Wales and Dousman is very nice.
