Back in my office after the long holiday weekend. Good people, good food, good bike rides, and productive work on a home project. I'm exhausted, and my body aches...and it was worth it.
Included in there was the first ride on my new gravel bike - Niner RLT 9 RDO. Well, the frame is new, and so are a few parts, but most of the parts were swapped from my previous frame.

Makes me wonder if what I got Back East was, in fact, COVID. Mild sore throat, mild aches, turned into drippy nose with concomitant post-nasal-drip throat tickle. No real cough, no real fever. Passed in about 4-5 days. I never tested, because that would have involved having to buy a test!

The kittens like to sleep on the chair next to the hammock, where I like to lay my books in progress. And I like to keep my tumbler of instant coffee beneath said chair. One of my new library books spent a part of the day on the clothesline, drying out, but remaining badly stained.

Just learned my sister tested pos. for Covid today. After testing neg the prior 2 days. Poor kid. She came to Turkey day and passed out in a chair and didn't move for 4 hours. Then went home. Ah well hope no one else gets it.

Soon the Blue Hens will be clucking all over southward and westward, including at DougRNS 's beloved KSU.
Are you going to take a road trip for a weekend of trash-talking in NW Metro ATL?

Also, my 2nd bucklos pedal set arrived just now. 269 grams. And cheap! I'm in heaven. The set on the trainer has been fantastic thus far. Haven't given them a second thought since installing them . My D/a 7800 series pedals are heavier than that.

Left work to get the COVID booster and was back in like 25 minutes door to door. A couple miles away too. But I know the shortcuts to get there w only one stoplight, plus a bit of urban assault on mtb, riding through some industrial park rock gardens, paths etc. Sweet. I feel like one of those fixie bike messengers or something. Totally shredded that commute lol

Varsity dogs for everyone!!!
The wings at $3 Cafe used to be pretty good too. Been a while since I've been down that way. Oooh, I see they have one in Buford now
But if you like enchiladas, nothing in the ATL gonna come close to the green chile enchiladas at Las Trancas.

I was on the verge of buying the RLT at the pre-Black Friday price. A BF discount made it an easy call for me.

Interesting. My wife heard from a former very close friend who has been out of touch for about that same length of time. A few friends have recently mentioned similar things happening with them. Hmmm...

Cyber monday is getting out of control. I just flew for 5 hours, when I turned my phone back on I received 41 emails. Other than RJ telling me to buy new wheels the rest were all ads.
