So the last 2 weeks I scored over 100 miles. This week, featuring American Home Week, 2 listing appointments, and driving my business partner (currently without car and license to drive it) around, my cycling goals have suffered. We had 3 days of awful, epic north wind that made riding even more fraught with danger. I passed. Dammit.

Friday would’ve been a great day but I had to meet an appraiser mid-day, and shuffled paperwork after for a few hours. Then DH and I spent time at Verizon, while he tried to get his lack of GPS resolved. Fail.

Today we were late to rise & shine, eat, and get out and took the tandem over Gibson & Steiger and English Hills & the Peaceful Glen rollers; finished with Locke Rd. rollers. A quick and fun ride; we haven’t ridden the tandem since February. Next week we’re to do the Chico Wildflower Centery, the 65 version. So the week before “practice” helps. I’m not worried; we’ll prevail. I wish we were spending the night in Chico but our trainer/boarder is riding the event as well and has no space for our dogs. So a day trip it is.

Tomorrow our son & his GF come out and we’ll be planning how to re-do our front yard. I’m so looking forward to having them here — they have such a great,positive energy together and I hope to harness that to finalize our design.
