Visited the Moton Museum in Farmville with my family and my daughter’s Girl Scouts troop today. Excellent exhibit detailing some regional history of the Civil Rights struggle. https://motonmuseum.org

I have a dull, persistent headache and a pulled muscle in my back, so no ride today. But I got to mock up a bunch of changes to the old Trek! Saddle is temporary, may take off the chain guard, but I’m pretty dang happy with where this is going.

Obligatory stop at Christmas on Wendhurst for their final year.

Penultimate outdoor #bike ride of the year, probably

I ride in the cold for the same reason I ride in the heat: so I keep riding. My body (and choice of attire) will adjust pretty quickly, and it leaves me with fewer excuses to stay indoors. #bikes

Crossed 8000 miles for the year on my bike today while enjoying the mid-autumn splendor of fluorescent ginkgo trees around the city.

Seriously, the weather on today’s ride was like a birthday gift from nature. I had a helluva time on the bike, too. I feel like I’m nearly back to where I was before my injury.

First time I’ve seen a USB-C port in a hotel room (Fairfield Inn near Harrisburg, PA).
