    Finally!!!! I had a ride I can actually consider a ride. Okay, last weekend I did ride 12 miles - 10 of it was downhill Yesterday 3 of us did a very easy, flat ride along the River on the bike path. Rode about 20 miles, stopped halfway for a beer (hee hee). I just kept it really easy - bit of a head wind going out. I did clip in and the foot did okay. Iced when I got home. this healing has sure been slow, ugh

    I was going to head out for a ride after work tonight. But I forgot my helmet, which doubles as my secondary light system (with blinky "hey notice me" lights to augment the brighter lights on the bike). And there's a gusty cold wind tonight. And I've been pretty sleep-deprived for the past few weeks for various reasons. I'm cranky and all I can think is "I am so tired I am so tired I am so tired." And I have to finish putting things away after the painters were here last week because my parents are coming tomorrow for a visit.

    So never mind about the bike ride.

    ny biker---seems like that was a good move, to stay home. Hope you get some good rest time tonight and a little down time before your visitors arrive.

    More pictures from Saguaro National Park, including the first Gila Monster of the year, and he was a big 'un- maybe 14 inches or so.
