Looking at those chili cheese fries almost had me on my way to Sonic for some, but we're in the heat of the day so I'm just gonna make some chili cheese hash browns here at home.

Maybe 12 years ago I dated a woman who lived in Harrisburg. I can solemnly swear that there is nothing fun to do in the city itself, unless you like miniature golf. The coolest thing was the tour of the state capitol building, but I have to believe that’s shut down right now.

I'm walking the property, picking up a million sticks from the last rainstorm, I come around a corner and see a guy mowing the softball field.

wut

I went over and talk to him and he's from the tenant church that uses our facilities. Turns out they're planning to have an outdoor service this weekend since the church building is "closed."

Anyway, after toiling for weeks in obscurity, at last my mowing finally counts. Someone will be there to appreciate the finely trimmed lawn. :bday:

Sounds like Albany. Or Hartford.

The nearest River Rd to me now is near the Agua Fria. I decided against riding on it today, as I didn't have time to plan a route. The closest route I have on hand is 51 miles and I didn't wanna do that in the heat!

I have been getting zero exercise since the nurse decided to punish me by making my left hand into a thumbed spatula. It had to be done, if the finger was to heal.
I've been intermittent fasting for about a month, with no definite schedule to it. So, this afternoon, getting up for breakfast, a few hours later than I should have, I suffered standing up too fast low blood pressure. And, subsequently couldn't sit up to eat. I have now finished, from the comfort of the hammock, and feel much better. I will begin a daily walking routine to prevent such in the future. And, who knows? Maybe I'll stick to a more regular eating schedule.

It might be time for me to visit 50+. I believe they have a sub-category: 65-85

Uh-oh. [MENTION=107711]datlas[/MENTION] - approved Ti with pretty sweet wheels and Stages for only 800 bones! So tempting. at 52cm it's at the low end of my size range. I'd probably have to put a tall stack stem on there.

Oh excellent. I've read through her first four posts and I'm really looking forward to working through this.

Wow. That's a fantastic deal.

To borrow a phrase from BD.com, it's the DEAL OF THE CENTURY!

p.s. saddle tilted too far forward, but that's an easy fix

this is the only overnight where the gym and pool are still open at the hotel. I think i will take advantage.

Catching up:

1. We had 558’ of ascent on our 23.8 mi. tandem ride this afternoon.

2. Illinoisans consider Wisconsin to be an Illinois State Recreation Area.

When the settlers headed west, they actually bypassed this part of the country because they couldn't break the prairie grass sod with wooden plows. Also, because a lot of parts of Illinois are so flat, it tended to be somewhat swampy in places. After the steel plow came into being, the grass was destroyed and the soil was drained.
Delaware is pretty flat as well.

North of Albany isn’t bad once you get past the yummy mummy suburban hell that is Clifton Park.

Hartford is a definite dump though

What other fried potatoes are there?
No Old Bay fries, poutine, parmesan and rosemary, salt and vinegar, etc...

The flattest place that we’ve ever ridden was in Cambridge, MD. We did a 70+ mile ride around the area of the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. IIRC, our elevation profile at the end had a vertical scale from 0 to 10’ (we were right at sea level) and our highest elevation was around 7’ when we crossed a little wooden humpback bridge. :D

I might try to find it on Garmin Connect.

Edit, I looked the ride up and it was only 64 miles with total ascent of of 68' or a little over 1' per mile. :)

I aced my test. INR was right in the middle of the therapeutic range.

It has the country’s second lowest highest point. But there are also some killer hills. The White Clay Bicycle Club has a ride called The Savage Century.

Only taken for a spin around the neighborhood but seem to be fine. The white finish will be quite dirty soon enough.
