Grats, Ken, that's some mileage!

Wish me luck. I'm going to be a reluctant eBike commuter today. The WX forecast sucks but I have no choice but to bike into work (my boss is taking his car to Torrington to be serviced).
Oh well, I don't reckon I'll shrink and I'm bringing a couple of plastic grocery bags to cover the dashboard while I work. Come hell or high water, I'm getting my ten miles logged today (hoping it isn't either of those though).
Oh me, oh my…the sacrifices we make for our team, huh?
Happy Trails. Go Team EBR!

I had another broken spoke about two weeks ago, usually not as easy as "just screwing a new one in". Here's what I posted last time I replaced spokes:

Greetings croo'
Thank you for the prayer Ken. As usual, the big guy was looking out for me.
Home again, home again; jiggity jig!
Just rolled up to my cottage with another ten miles on the Grey Ghost's odometer. Logged in to the National Bike Challenge tout de suite and updated our numbers.
The roads were a wee bit wet on the way in to work, then at lunchtime a line squall marched through and it rained cats and dogs, and finally, the sun came out and I enjoyed a swell, refreshing ride home on nearly dry roads. The Dame's Rocket along the roadside smelled so heavenly. (You don't smell the flowers in a car.)
Another day in paradise. The plastic grocery bags worked a treat keeping the electronics on my handlebars dry and I put the rain snood on my terminally-hip Brooks saddle. So it's all good.
Tomorrow's WX augurs well. Since there is a really nice Wednesday evening AA meeting at my church, I should be putting in fourteen miles tomorrow.
Go Team EBR!

That's like the one about the two guys flying through the air; one downward bound, and one heading up.
The guy coming down yells to the other, "hey, do you know anything about parachutes?"
And the guy going up says, "no, do you know anything about lighting gas water heaters?"

Good weather week so far for the most part! Nasty storm Monday evening, but I got home in time. It's nice to have the dust, pollen and bugs knocked down, when you're not in it!
I stopped at a red light in town and a bike pulled up to me and stopped. He glanced over at me and I nodded at him and I said, "ebike huh, nice!" He then said, "how did you know? Nobody ever notices!"
He was riding a front hub conversion. I said to him, "look close!"

My Friend Shawn is over 3,000 miles on his ride around the US and is in Phoenix right now. I can't email Pete to give him this News because of his no spam email trick.

I didn't really know "devolve", so I looked it up - "to transfer or delegate to a lower level" - so I guess that's appropriate usage after all.

Hey Team:
I had a really nice commute to work and back but I almost hit a suicidal chipmunk on the way home. Look out chippy!
Hope he had spare underwear in his back pocket cuz' I missed him by this much…
Another ten miles for the log and I have a meeting at church tonight so I'll put up another four later.
Go Team EBR!

Well, I figured you would not use the word evolve and as it turns out devolve is perfect! Not a spelling error at all!
