I had an ex- who swore by the healing properties of blue cheese! He said it was the precursor to penicillin, and when I was in your situation once, he had me down an entire block of the stuff. Darned if I didn't feel better the next day. I don't necessarily advocate it, tho. Just passin' on the info.

DH and I did our "French Countryside" route yesterday (the 31st) - a 26 mile loop. Was a pretty nice day - high thin clouds and low-60's. Saw an interesting site - a couple on a tandem recumbent trike! Was pretty cool and it was definitely a smile-maker. We passed them easily on an uphill - they really throw out the anchor on the ups. But they smoked us on the downhill. At one point, we were doing 30 mph and watching them pull away!!!

Of course, that got us thinking about taking a trip to the LBS. The shop is consigning a Trek tandem. Hmmmmm......That would be one way for me to keep up with DH on the hills!
