    Indian Summer!

    All of a sudden the weather has rolled back to early September High of 78 today, 80 tomorrow, and equally nice weather the following two days. Of course, come the weekend, it will be much cooler but I will take what I can get. My 53rd birthday is tomorrow so will take a half-day (work permitting) and my Gunnar is already quivering with excitement as both pedals and knee appear to be in pretty darn good shape I would LOVE to ride my age tomorrow, but considering I've been dealing with a cranky knee for a month now I suppose that wouldn't be wise - regardless of how it feels right now. I will enjoy every moment of whatever I choose to ride!

    Indian summer here too, in the mid Atlantic. I got a new saddle in August, but life has been chewing me up and spitting me back out and I haven't had time to ride. I think I've been out maybe three times in three weeks. I hope to change that this week. At least, the weather is cooperating. I miss riding. Enjoy the weather while you can!

    I rode today--I haven't been able to do a birthday ride for the last two years, so I'm very happy to finally get one in, even though I didn't get to ride my age. It was supposed to rain, but I took my jacket and it held off. (Go figure.) I'd intended to take today off and do a century. Because of a knee injury, it wasn't going to happen. So I got a ride in tonight (the last half in the dark, which was fun), and my knee isn't too annoyed with me. Yay!
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
