Sadly nothing to report. Yesterday there was gusting winds. No thanks.

Felt low energy today. Sleep deficit, end-of-drug cycle, etc.

I mowed some small lawns. Traffic on I-75 N was backed up to Lenior City exit. People fleeing the "Great State of Georgia"? :foo:

Oh and he knows the course of the Mallorca 312, through he hasn't ridden it. He calls it quite the tough course. Asked if datlas likes climbing.
Edit: Dallas, Darla's, darla's. AI finally succumbed

This is why mass cycling/NASCAR/etc. are dumb. Completely random that people get taken out of the race.

Bob is visiting friends in a close by town. He's from Maine.. The folks he's staying with are from our home town. He and I are nearly the same size, and he has possession of my Paramount for the duration of his stay.

Bob is incorrect about there being no used bicycles for sale.

Hi! What’s this thread about?

Besides flowers and basketball.

Cats.

Stephen and Esme have taken a liking to each other.

Sunshine and singletrack on a sunny Saturday was spectacular…

Someone hung a swing from a tree next to the trail…

Not walking for two months+ really takes the stamina out of your legs.

I've been trying to NOT buy a red gravel bike here, but if someone else doesn't buy it soon I dunno how long I can hold out.

Let go of your prejudice about the color red, and embrace the spirit of gravel. We drink beer (or not, if that’s your choice), and welcome folks who ride all the bikes (or just 1 bike, if that’s your choice).

I coulda told you that you can't lean a bike against a swing. It'll fall right over.

I'll bet I've seen that clip at least 30x. Saw it live as it happened, too.

Used bikes everywhere in DFW.

Time to fly home. Yay home, boo flying. Double-boo Southwest.

I am walking with a walker now, but I basically did’t in 2023 until early March.
