Slow busy day. Or is it a busy slow day? And how, precisely, are they different? They are certainly different. I propose more slow days to give us ample time for study. But, before all of that …
We had a nice afternoon ride yesterday. Legs were burning, and at times we were moving very quickly, indeed. Here is the view on the back half of the ride.
I was taking a breath after a little experiment. We were cruising along on a false flat at 30 miles per hour and I decided to see what would happen if I sprinted out an attack. It only took a few hard pedal strokes, and it hurt for quite some time.
Well beyond that photo, I assure you.
Just after, I had enough time to catch my wind before the biggest climb of the day. We’d gone over some steady uphill rollers at 20-plus, and then down a big descent and by the lake and then out the other side, up the big hill. Which is where we find the newest installment in the irregular Barns by Bike series.
I’m sure that one has been featured before. It’s on a hill, so I’m certainly going slow enough to take a picture or three.
It is now time for the series even more popular than the bike riding and the barns to this site, checking in on the cats.
Poseidon is very interested in The Yankee’s breakfast. Or at least the banana.
I interrupted his nap here. He paid me back in kind the next night. And the next night. And probably one more after that.
Phoebe, undercover.
If the sun is out she will forsake the comforts of a fuzzy blanket to catch a few rays. Here she is dozing on the back of The Yankee’s desk.
As I say, she relaxes hard, with an intensity to her naps the likes of which you’ve never seen. We should all be so lucky.
And that’s the theme for the next little bit. It’s time for a summer sabbatical. I’ll catch back up with you here in a few days. Until then, stay hydrated, well-rested and enjoy!
