“Ride #84: Give Me Back My Summer!”

I still haven't acclimated to the colder weather. It was comparatively warm today at 63° when I went out, so I didn't wear any arm or leg warmers, nor a t-shirt under my jersey. By the time I was home again, my nose was running almost constantly and I was whipped.

In fact, I had to lay down in the front yard for a few minutes because I felt like I was going to pass out. Still don't feel right, an hour later.

This isn't all bad news, though. The weight is still coming down, slowly, in spite of Corinne's redoubled efforts to the contrary. In the last week she's made lasagna, Tuscan soup (like The Olive Garden's), and beef romanoff. As Ken Willis bellowed at me a couple weeks ago after he finished eating some of her chicken tikka (sp?) kabobs, I'm the "most spoiled man in the world!" (But that spoiling is why I'm tracking my weight this year!)

Stats: 45.1 miles (72.61 km) in 2h 16' 46" for an average speed of 19.78 mph (31.85 kph).
