All,
Got out for a nice Guzzi swan-about yesterday morning. This despite the heat and humidity. I, for one, struggle with this time of year on the Gulf Coast of TEXAS. Grinds me down. Summer never ends. Blowtorch sun, and drip down your neck humidity, add mosquitoes, then there are road rage cagers, and construction everywhere.
The answer, for me, is to ride anyway. There is something unique about firing up the machine, and rolling away. A nice cruise, sort of like flying. Cools off at speed, and sometimes like yesterday-- there are enough clouds to break the sun, and its more bearable. Right gear helps. The blue Italian sang its songs, what a magnificent piece of engineering. I wanted more than 60 miles, but my body said nope. Afternoon nap required for recovery, and rehydration.
Dog days, more like Black Dog days for me. 2019 has been just "challenging". Its not over yet. My emotional swings are beveled off by bike rides. But, I have to almost force myself to go ride.
Fall will come?
