It's been 10 years.

Thought about it a couple years ago but had my vehicle then. Oh, I'm sure I'll take it easy at first. I remember how hard it was to ride a bike when I started back after a break. Different muscles!

Yep. But great exercise. When I was exhausted in the cold, Dave was upbeat & encouraging- until we got home. First thing he said was "my God, that was awful!" He was the cyclist, annual rides across Iowa for 18 years.

I do think about those little defenseless bacteria. Feed him, talk to him, then cremate him and eat his corpse. Very sad. I'm careful not to waste starter, rarely wash the jar. I put your little starter into my big starter.

Yes, summer and winter in those extremes we rode around the lake. Into town against the wind was pure stupidity. I was ready to lie down in a ditch and let nature have me.

The well-paved bike path is right in front of my house, just across the street. It goes from the Ywca a couple blocks west to the next town east
I think to the next lake (not certain of that) so 15-20 miles. I have no excuses not to pedal a trike.

Btw, Riley the starter, is darker than some because he's fed rye flour almost exclusively with occasional wheat flour when I'm out of rye. I use rye only for feeding Riley because it's too expensive otherwise.

Some would call it a shitshow. I'm too ladylike for that.

That was twice every day.

I put a lot of money into my 2008 Town n Country over the years. The timing belt was the last straw. I'll use cabs, bus, and grandchildren. I think I might get an adult tricycle.

Yes, I used to have a very nice bike. Dave and I rode around the lake twice = 10 miles. Once rode into town in freezing weather - once - never again.

Oh good! I ignore dm - except for yours of course. I no longer have a vehicle, so it will go out sometime this week hopefully.

Let me know where to mail the flakes.

From your flakes. After a couple feedings and a bit of time, it looks good. I had the lid on a bit too tight and it had a nice build up of Co2. Lots of bubbles. I love 🫧
