Little #softpedalSunday action. Planned a longer loop but didn’t leave the house early enough. 18 miles of mixed terrain is OK tho

Welp, since I’m oddly awake, and have been for an hour+, guess we’ll watch some live Euro CX racing
So much for #sleepinSunday granted it is CX watching season

Note to a friend:
Known you for a while and feel pretty comfortable & confident in saying that your ex’s -husband & last boyfriend- were fools to let a smart, confident, not to mention attractive woman like you go.

Whoa. As I riding up the brick street climb through Roanoke Park, there was a possibly really unhappy fella standing on the sidewalk screaming at the trees & sky. Suspect someone is having a rough Friday night. #fixedgearFriday

Potentially not a real positive beginning to a #fixedgearFriday when at 545am ya wake up thinking ya need to pee only to have your leg sudden lock up in a cramp. Been a minute since that’s happened. Ouch.

Well, when it rains it pours?Suddenly have two women I’ve know for years, one of whom I dated at one point, both are formerly married, both have children, & both are proposing hanging out. Don’t recall that last time a woman even acted interested in me.
So this is interesting.

After all these years of wear & abuse my two pairs of old school Swobo J-Mak knickers are still getting it done. Duck Tape is holding them together is some places but they aren’t trash bin ready quite yet.

In the continuing adventures of #MondaysOff I’m now at the DMV waiting in line to ideally renew my state ID that expired on my birthday and possibly my drivers licenses that expired last year on my birthday.

It took 3 different movies that I’d never seen before that bored me enough in their first 15 minutes to switch to end up on a great one I’ve seen a few times.

The original post work plan was to do the levee route to home on the #fatbike but bringing in display bikes realized that the wind has picked up and the temp has dropped. So maybe just ride home, snuggle into the #tinycouch for a Saturday edition of #dinnerandamovie

Tonight started to reconsider only to finally realize, yet again, that decision is really for Saturday morning zeke to make.
Nighty night, sleep tight

Anytime I’ve ridden to the grocery store & don’t bother taking my helmet off to go inside to shop, often the cashier asks if I’m on a bike.
The temptation to reply “Uh, no. Why?” is great.
I haven’t done it, yet, but the temptation is real.
