I rode the Lemond up the mountain but didn't come close to @LAJ's climbing number. Only 7,165ft.
Getting from that patch of road down there to this patch of road up here was particularly painful.
I also happened by a structure that figures prominently in a popular film:
The two lifts I rode by were closed

Supposed to be hot and sticky today. I was heading out for a long solo ride but got a text from friends about a long slow trike ride. I don't ride trike much in the Summer but slow with friends in this heat might be better than fast and solo.

Was hot and sticky for us yesterday, like nuzzling in someone's armpit. Looks like more of the same, today.

And laxative! Don't forget that nothing is quite as laxative as blueberries (except maybe prunes). At your age that is a big plus right?

I'm all out of sorts today.
For the last couple weeks I've had some slowly worsening heartburn that has been reducing my appetite and interrupting my sleep, but yesterday it culminated in the mother of all heartburn that left me nearly doubled up on the floor for most of the day. I finally went out and picked up some Prilosec (generic) and started on a round of that last night. Nothing else ever seems to touch my heartburn at all. Of course it takes like 12 hours to start working so I spent the night unable to lay on my side or front and had to resort to laying on my back which doesn't work for me. Ended up reading (Brent Weeks) most of the night and only got a few hours of sleep.
On the plus side I am no longer in any pain today! I'm just weak and tired with a slightly upset stomach.

I read The Way of Shadows and it frustrated me. I wanted to see where the story was going to go, but thought that the writing was maddeningly bad at times. I did finish TWoS, but didn't bother with the rest of the series, a rarity for me. Maybe I'll hope that it was just first novel growing pains and pick it back up if we have a batten-down-the-hatches winter.
