Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Just then a wave rolled in and soaked her, washed over her shoulders. She got a little panicky, I was standing right near her telling her she was fine. The wave rolled back and she took off like a rocket, running around in circles, I guess to warm herself up. Or maybe just happy to have survived lol.

She really really wants to catch a bird. Was chasing a pigeon today and it flew up and landed on the cliff face. Before we could stop her, Puppy Love scrambled 6 feet up the cliff, Mr H had to pluck her off a 4 inch wide ledge. She was still rarin to go though, pretty disappointed we pulled her back.

lol

The end ended.

Not a lot of miles in April, but I did more than in Q1, so I guess that's something.

I figured that I'd do the Strava Premium thing for the additional power data, goal setting, etc. I set a modest mileage goal for the year and Strava tells me that I'm 769 miles behind schedule.
