Feb 19 - on the road again

with my bicycle, that is !  North this time, for the first time in 2017.  The wind wasn't very cooperative with a headwind on the way north and an east wind on the way south, but c'est la vie.  While I was out, Sandy did some gardening / trimming.   Things are looking pretty good.

My legs still haven't recovered from the time off / climb / meds / whatever.  They were aching by the time I got back.  That could have been the contrary wind but it was only 78 miles.  I'll be riding regularly now which should help immensely. 

Jerry called while I was riding but I missed that call and one from Dan Driscoll.  I emailed Jerry and called him but never heard back.  He's supposed to be here later this week. 

Dan was calling about Kili, wanting advice, feedback etc.  He's kind of in analysis paralysis now with a bunch of organizers in a spreadsheet comparing costs, duration, routes, conflicting claims of summit success and whatnot.  I didn't go through that; just went with Bob K who'd already lined up Kiliwarriors.  Dan is more time than money sensitive because Pam only gets two weeks off per year.  Part of his dilemma is that Kiliwarriors doesn't have anything else booked at this point.  While they are happy to climb together, Dan and Pam would rather have at least a few more people on the climb.  We were only six into October and then suddenly we were sixteen.  Once something is booked, they start lining up.

Anyway, he's got a decision to make.  I can't help him any more than I have.

Onward !
