not much. you?

Slow weekend. Windy both days. Saturday I did the ride to Princeton Friends Meeting; about 15 miles. There's a big hill crest between here & Princeton, and a couple smaller ones, so doing it on the commuter bike is a bit of a challenge, and on Saturday there was a headwind all the way down; it took about 55 minutes to get there, and only a little over 40 to get back. If I'm going to ride to Meeting, I need to leave a bit over an hour to get there and settled. (And @ cute chick on the road bike, I'm sorry if I startled you when I passed, but my ego got in the way - you were on a road bike and in full riding kit, and I was in jeans & tee-shirt, and I just couldn't wait behind you anymore. "Hold your line" means keep riding straight, and "On your left" means that's where I'm gonna pass you. Don't give up riding - that was apparently a new setup you were on - and maybe you want to come out with the Freewheelers to get some companions and learn how to ride.)

Later, the excellent wife and I were going to go out to the Princeton Museum of Art to check out a Sargent that's on loan, but she went out to work a bit of overtime, and came home complaining of tiredness, so we went to Whole Foods (where they were having a free bone-density test - hers are in good shape), and then to Conte's Pizza. There are worse things to do.

Sunday, I went out with the Freewheelers. Larry G leads rides October through March when the weather cooperates (he limits to those months on the unassailable reasoning that other leaders all lead in the better weather). About 45 miles, to which I added about 10-11 by stopping for breakfast and riding in from there. Windy again, and the last bit of the ride, the four miles from the end point to the lot where I had parked, was directly into the wind, with open fields on either side of the road. There was nothing for it but to lean into the wind, put my head down, and pedal, pedal, pedal. A nap in the afternoon, and ensuing insomnia last night. Hrmph.

Today I'm off, and tired. I have a dentist appointment this afternoon; before that I expect to do some financial stuff (that I can't do online: gotta deposit a check at the bank and go to town to pay the property tax). I may bike for some of it, but excellent wife said rain earlier (despite the prediction), so... OTOH, that's why I put the fenders on the commuter bike. I'm also getting the tasties for some junk food; my favorite Dunkin' Donuts no longer has the apple fritter (neither, apparently, do any of the other ones, although when I could find 'em, they were best at my local DD), and I'm feelin' the loss. (If pornography is that which has no redeeming social value and appeals solely to the prurient interest, then that apple fritter is pornographic food; the apple jelly is in there, I'm sure, just to keep the deep-fried sugar and white flour company.)

So. Whaddya know?
