Need to Make a To-Do List
And a To-Buy List, and a To-Think-About List, and a To-Pack List. Whew! Anyways, today's burning question is how the heck do I pump my tires on the road? I certainly don't plan to pack a floor pump. Do a find a mini with a gauge?
On the riding front, I'm progressing nicely. Conistently riding 5-6 days a week with two longer (3-4 hour) rides. Yesterday was my longest since my recovery -- 55 miles with some good climbing. Started running and lifting last week too!
Go an email from Diana Coles. Was surprised to hear her husband Ron has Alzheimer's. She's invited me to stay at her house in Fair Haven. Can't wait to see her.
In addition to the Ritchey Cyclocross bike, I just picked up a Rivendell Atlantis on eBay. This was my back-up choice and I just happened to find one in my size on eBay. The auction closed yesterday. Only one other bidder and I easily beat him but didn't make reserve. However, the buyer and I agreed to a good price so I'll build it up and see how it feels. I'll likely also still get the Ritchey since I need a second cx bike and like the idea of having a break-away. A girl can never have too many bikes now, can she? Actually, I do have too many bikes. I've got racks for six bikes in my house and now I own seven (plus the Altantis and the Ritchey so that makes nine). I think I'll sell the two track bikes.
Hope to finalize my travel outline tomorrow or Tuesday.
