What's a little thing like a hurricane for cyclists???? (Is that what you're dealing with?)
Yea, that's 'breaking the spell' with style :-)
Ernesto has kept our clouds stalled out... but it's clouds and drizzle, nothing more exciting.

I also missed several weeks with all the usual excuses (too much to haul today, can't find the bike lock key, raining, no time to shower at work, knee hurts this morning, jada jada jada). Today I got over it, found the key, and rode my old bike to work. Clipless pedals still stuck in a warehouse with the rest of my shipment from the US, so first hill I tried gearing down to spin my way up my feet went flying off the pedals. Oh well. Powered up that hill in a higher gear, walked the next, powered the third, walked the fourth. I still took me less than half the time it takes to walk. Which also means it's a better cardio workout. And I think I can manage with a "cat wash" and a clean t-shirt when I get here. So the goal is to bike most work days from now until the snow comes.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
A cat wash! I love it... I will remember that one!I think I can manage with a "cat wash"![]()
