Finding Radiance

We had a nice relaxing weekend. No real long rides (somewhat weather dependent).  We have just been doing so much on weekends that it was nice to kick back at home and get stuff done! I was quite productive on Sunday, though.  We did manage to bike 12 miles round trip to breakfast today to [...]

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 [...]

Yes, I think I can make a new verb called ‘bageling.’ That is the act of going to and having a bagel!  As per usual on Wednesday mornings.  Yesterday’s rain made it a very foggy morning for riding. I don’t love riding in the fog becuase I don’t trust drivers very much (which is a [...]

Where the h-e-double-hockeysticks did summer go??   I can’t believe I am doing the monthly wrap up post already. John asked me to get him up when I got up so we could get an early start on the day because we both have a lot to do today.  I requested no whining when I [...]

Happy Bagel Day!  I ended up not posting yesterday because it would have just been boring food. I have decided if I don’t have anything to say other than what I eat, I don’t have to post. John is feeling better, but still has an icky cough.  He was up for riding to breakfast to [...]

Busy!  I was thinking it wouldn’t be so bad today, but you just never know.  I was up for an early ride and of course, being Wednesday and all, I had to stop for breakfast! This was a banana nut bagel.  Num!  Had a nice chat with the cafe owner this morning.  I don’t mind [...]

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???).  [...]

There was a small front that went through last night and the temps fell down into the upper 50s.  It was glorious!  I slept like a log – hooray!  John said Pixie managed to get into the bedroom and got in his face and I didn’t even stir, which is pretty amazing. It was 58 [...]

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 [...]

It’s Bagel Wednesday!  Yesterday was a complete rest day other than some gentle walking. It was a warm and sunny morning and we headed out for a brisk ride to breakfast.  My legs felt pretty good.  Still recovering a bit from the 88 mile ride on Monday, I think.  I felt it a little on [...]
