Not a lot today. Hey, it is Saturday, and this week that is enough.
But I stumbled across this video via Twitter, and it is something I think and talk about on campus a fair amount. Thought I’d share it here, too.
Pedaled around the city bypass today. It was only 17 miles, I wanted a lot more, but my legs just weren’t there.
Also it was very warm. This might be the year that I become a wilted flower. I’ve felt this coming for the last few years. Septembers have started to get to me as I’ve found myself fundamentally opposed to triple digit heat that late in the year.
And now, on the other end of the seasonal spectrum, mid-80s in March seem a little unbecoming of technically-late-winter.
You don’t notice it when you’re riding. You do notice it when you have to stop for a red light in an intersection with no shade. You wonder about a lot of things just then.
Like why you’ll do it again tomorrow.
Then you get off the bike. You cool down a bit and clean up. And then you remember why.
