I’d take a bullet before eating Haggis

My rides since last November are best measured in small doses of Rab. Since mid May I've begun enjoying longer rides and today ventured across Rt 250, did my Turbo sprint on it, had a longer confidence building ride of 16m with no aftereffects.

On my Trek Allant I have a Surley Molotov https://surlybikes.com/parts/moloko_bar It gives me more flexibility in hand placement which has helped with my Carpal Tunnel.

@DaveMatthews Last fall on a local country ride I noticed riders, strong, fairly young coming up on me…I didn’t make it easy for them…but youth will be served. The passing last rider (barely breathing hard) said “That looks like fun.” I responded to his back “For an old guy.” He looked back and...

A friend made the comment to me “So how much do you have in those two ebikes? And then showed me a news article about BYD’s electric car lineup and pointed out I could be riding in an air conditioned e-car for the same price.

With desserts like that are you sure its your legs that “have lost their form” I say this with envy…my local stops have only packaged trash

That explanation synchs with my reading of the poem...The Formal Actioneer…nothing like asking a local for directions

I looked it up several ways and couldn’t get past ‘moot point’. Hughes’ poem is full of short ’rooty’ sounds, Anglo-Saxon blunt words…nothing in the way of Romance language. The poem is a perfect description of the participants I used to see. “Watch and hide inside themselves/Absorbing the...

@Chargeride perhaps you can clarify (a bit) the. Usage and meaning of a word I ran across from Devon farmer and poet Ted Hughes. from his ‘The Formal Auctioneer’ the word “Moots” as in “A snaggle of faces/Like pulled-out and heaped up old moots.” a Washington Post article on the roads...

I wish I had a recording of the gab in the scalehouse at Orange Livestock in Virginia in the 90s when I worked there on market day. Hillbillies, rednecks, plain hill folk coming to the sale for the entertainment. Some Amish in the mix to add a bit of the old world

I started some Hella Jella from Humboldt Seeds in July. got a good yield (6z per) considering the late start. I no longer desire to grow large plants…too much work now…and too vulnerable to storms. I threw one excess plant in the gopher hole that broke my hand (tractor) in spring. I put soil...

Still experimenting with it…Selle…I liked my Brooks but it snapped at the rails recently…no break in with this one but I’m experimenting with the front screw…angle of shot accentuates the curve

The crops are mostly in around central Virginia as well. I'm trying to ride every day (weekend rain excepted) in anticipation of time off next week for another orthopedic procedure. If my bike broke down as much I'd take it to the dump.

Zenni online has worked great for me…

I rode towards the James River yesterday enjoying the fast descents down the flood plain. No wind...no traffic...almost no one...but this one horse who after a nose scratch departed broken hearted from my empty hand. Great weather yesterday for a ride towards the James River.

My rides, lately, have been short and uneventful weather, then health tempering my ambitions. Today’s grey weather with cold drizzle, you’d have to be crazy (Rab) to ride, but I had to work yesterday…so departed for the deserted backroads that circle my place. I did see early on Randy preparing...

LOVE the bike…nice truck too I came out of a grocery the other day to find a large Ford 250 Lightning next to my tiny Honda Ridgeline

TY…so I don’t have to
