Mar 5-10 - yikes !

Yikes !  It's been a while.  I've ridden my bike short and long.  Sandy has had multiple appointments, all good.  The weather went cool and then warm.  The dogs have been to the sandbar.  That about sums it up.

The 400k was tough.  My wahoo gps recorded the temperature down to 29F ... none of us believed that it was quite that cold ... but it was cold.  The headwind was brutal.  Jerry bonked about 8 miles from the end going from slowed-down-bonk to crawling-bonk.   He asked me how far to the end and I said 8 miles  Had he asked how much longer, I'd have said 1.5 hours.  It wasn't quite that bad, but it was an hour.  We started at 5am and finished at 1:35 am.  I've had better days but it was finished.   Jerry had a hotel room so I crashed for a couple of hours and then came back in time for Mass ... a short night also due to the time change.

Sandy's floaters are clearing; the cornea scratch has mostly healed; she's getting a good reading from the eye doctor.   In two weeks she goes back for more !  Add a month (or so) to that and she'll have healed eyes and new glasses.  It's a long process, start to finish.

In the meantime, stuff happens on the bicycle club front.  I'm expecting my April Japan ride to be cancelled.   Ireland could be doubtful.  Australia in November is probably ok ...  probably ... but who knows.  I'm thinking that the Paris Brest Paris organizing crowd are sooooo thankful that this coronavirus didn't occur last year. 

Today, I hope to get out for a ride.  Tomorrow we hope to go to Disney.  Hope hope hope ... one never knows what the day will bring.

Onward !
