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

The last half mile with 35lbs of kitty litter hanging off my handlebar - now that's some challenging cycling.

Once again, we are learning that there is good for the Pac-12 and good for everywhere else. #RoseBowl

At least, there is a beautiful stew type thing involving black-eyed peas and Egyptian spices.

I like to make stuff that I can convert into another meal later. Today sauerkraut and kielbasa in the crock pot, later with the leftovers add chicken broth, white beans and throw in some spinach at the end and you have a nice soup.

Great to make it into 2019 for me and Machka. That was yesterday for those of us who are among the leaders in the world. It was windy where we are staying to a point that bike riding wasn't really that attractive to me -- so we did a 7.2km walk of the two historic farming properties where we are. Bicycling planned today with the hope I can get a decent 40km ride over part of one of our Audax courses. Wind has dropped to nothing, which is a great thing.

Thanks for the good wishes for me from various guys and gals here last year. They have meant much to me in the recovery process. Machka continues to reveal some of the stuff that went on while I was way off in La-La-Land (actually almost dead) and suffering post-traumatic amnesia for over five weeks, and then around nine-months (and ongoing) of recovery to body and brain..

Have great year, everyone.
