If it's not one thing, it's another (almost-daily diary issues & lack of updates)![]() It's been a really rough summer, having to watch the 'Tour from the sidelines (well, no, in-person it would be on the sidelines; I'm watching from 6,000 miles away). And then the craziness that Covid-19 has brought to the bike biz, and add to that trying to get things moving for the shop move (we've been paying full rent for the new place since April; that's going to come to maybe $90,000 by the time we move in, and I can think of a lot better ways I'd rather be spending that money than on an empty building!). ![]() I considered turning around right then but no, it wasn't a yellow jacket, let's just keep going and see how things feel. I stopped a bit further up, to check up on my arm and get a photo of the stinger (it later fell off my garmin but it was a scary enough image to remember without having to save it). Kept going, got passed by a few guys, the the slower of the three I managed to catch back up to and gradually grind on past. Got to the top, exchanged pleasantries (wondered if they were going to be doing West Old LaHonda) and, when it turned out they weren't going to be heading the way I normally would, I decided to head back home, straight down the hill. This morning, I'm suffering a bit from lack of sleep because that arm (left) has been itching pretty badly. Allegra helps. It's not swelling too much, but it's not much fun. And that's kind of how a lot of things have been lately- not much fun. It's time to have some fun. |
