Addiction 2022.1

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

Yes, if you're trying to see out of it, the windshield is definitely #1.

They even made the "6" out of tape. Reminds me of when he was doing Viagra commercials. "That's my number".

I ended my newspaper subscription today effective 2-2-22. The date was based on my renewal date. Deuces wild.

Also, no omicron symptoms yet.

One week in isolation.
When I finally get back on the bike I will have been about a month off it. Or can cycling be done in isolation? In any case, I don't see myself as being ready for that leap in the immediate future.
We were on a domestic flight Monday evening, and the first symptoms came on Tuesday night. Is it that fast, or did I pick it up before that?

Wool jersey was more fall wear than winter wear, but pretty comfy.
It felt like Saturday this morning cuz I have the day off, but traffic sure seemed heavy. Oh yeah it's only Friday.

Rode on a couple of major roads and it was just about like this:
