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 doc is ok with what I'm doing and I hope to see progress next visit.

No one has posted a Friday music video . . . until now. I think we're going to play this at the next KCB concert.

Bikes: I've lost count.

put a new saddle on the gravel bike. So I took it around the local riverbank MTB tracks. maybe need to drop it a fraction. And it will defineately be more comfortable when it breaks in. When I got back from that it was too late to mow the lawn and it was still nice and warm so I took a vintage road bike for a ride. A nice there and back on a nice wide MUP to the next town.

Overall a good Saturday.

Depends on pathology of the polyp they removed. If it’s a precancerous adenoma, 5 years. If it’s not anything or a hyperplastic polyp, 10 years. Gotta wait a week to know. I am in NO RUSH to get another.

Nope. Most days I make oatmeal in it, but I didn't have any today.

I woke up at 5am and had some super sugary instant oatmeal of the apple and cinnamon variety. No microwave though, just boiled water in my electric kettle and poured it over the oats.
