Finding Radiance

Happy Weekend!  It’s over now, but what a nice weekend it was  It was nice enough for a ride today, too!  When we can sneak in an outdoor ride at this time of year, it always feels like such a treat.  Temp was close to 50, so we bundled up and headed out. Technical turtleneck, [...]

The weather this weekend was absolutely fabulous!  We knew that meant a bike  ride on Saturday – aka the Stuff part of Stuff and Cram weekend. After lunch, we decided to head on down to Saratoga and partake in a cuppicake! I was excited for a long ride: John is all pumped up as well: [...]

What a gorgeous fall weekend! Saturday started rainy and cloudy, but it did stop.  I made a fall inspired breakfast: This was the flax muffle topped with apple/cranberry topping.  Yum! John went to play a poker tournament Saturday and he placed 6 out of 23. Not in the money, but I think he did pretty [...]

  Our day of remembrance on 9/11. I think everyone is thinking of where they were and what they were doing 10 years ago today.   We had a nice ride on Saturday.  The morning was cool and I had a nice quiet breakfast on the porch: We talked a bit about where to ride [...]

Hooray for cupcakes!  That was the plan for Saturday.  I spent the morning puttering in the garden, which is always nice.  Very little traffic on the road, so it was nice and quiet! I enjoyed some nice custard oats for breakfast with coconut butter and marmalade! After lunch, it was time to head on down [...]

Friday!  Woo Hoo!  My Friday dance today?  Dancing on the pedals! I took a quick 6.5 mile spin before breakfast today.  I had to wear a long sleeve shirt because of how cool it was.  I wouldn’t have needed that running, but you feel much cooler biking because of the breeze (which is lovely most [...]

The heat wave finally broke! Yay!  Woke up to a glorious 72 degrees out and breezy.  No real plans on tap for the day, which was nice.  Our ride today was for fun and not for a specific reason like the  group ride or my 100-mile ride (and what really was the reason for that???).  [...]

Sunday was the Tour de Farm Ride! There were 2 rides to choose from, a 15 mile and a 35 mile. Of course, you know what I registered us for!  The ride is basically to raise funds to support land conservation and agriculture. Since we had to be there at 8:30 – that meant no [...]

It’s Bagel Wednesday!  John is still having some bike issues, so I went out for a solo head start to Panera Bread for a change.  Haven’t been there in about 6 weeks!  I started off with half of a Balance bar because it takes 40-45 minutes to bike there trying to avoid construction. John scootered [...]

Dang what a day.  This was a long tough ride! The plan was for 80ish miles today.  We got up early and had a nice breakfast.  I decided to have some banana custard oats to fuel up. Topped with Teddie peanut butter and strawberry jam.  I also had 1.5 cups of almond milk.  Approximately 500 [...]
