Yep. E-Bike.It's comforting to know there are some things you can count on, no matter what, right? Like Tuesday & Thursday mornings, from 7:31am to somewhere between 9:37 & 9:45am, I'm out there on my bike, doing the regular Kings loop, just as I have for the last few decades. Rain or shine, healthy or not. This morning was more in the "not" camp, as I'm getting over some sort of a short & nasty cold, the sort that, after it eases up, leaves you without a voice. That was me this morning. I was guessing it would be a 36 minute ride up Kings, "old & slow" sort of thing, but it never works out that way. You start up the climb and your body just goes into auto-pilot mode, and 32 minutes 38 seconds later, you're at the top. And as usual, you feel better and better as the ride goes on. Why can't everything in life be like that? Smaller group today than Tuesday; just Kevin, Kevin & Tom (is he going to be a regular now?). Warm? Yes, but also pretty humid. Much more humid than any of my recent rides in France actually! Unfortunately, the best I felt all day, the only time I really felt good all day, was on the ride this morning. At the shop the excess humidity really did a number on me. Just gotta find a way to make a living riding a bike I guess! --------------------------------------------------- Images: http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/e_bike_future.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2017-08-03 23:54:38 Post date GMT: 2017-08-04 06:54:38 Post modified date: 2017-08-03 23:54:38 Post modified date GMT: 2017-08-04 06:54:38 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
