RIP Toots Hibbert.
Saw him play on the Res in Kykotsmovi, AZ in the late 80s. Awesome experience!

Rolling Rock is what we drank in college if we couldn't get Genesee. If we couldn't get Rolling Rock, we'd be stuck with Iron City.

Looks like I may just hang on to the top spot for another day.
Oh and it's back to hot.

Heavy rain all night and all morning. It's been a crappy week for riding with off and on rain and drizzle. My Strava for the week is looking pretty anemic.

Generally it's to hit 100 miles for the weekend, so that'd mean 40-ish. However, nethers are a bit raw after the double session Tuesday, so we will see. If you do 50+ you'll likely take it. You might not even need that.

Today’s ride was good. There were a few miles of fresh loose chipseal that sucked but otherwise a perfect day.

Remember one of my cyclist friends told me my rear tire is worn even though the wear indicators are still obvious?
He gave me a hard time about it today. “You still haven’t put a new tire on?” I said it’s too soon and plenty of tread left. He replied that I will be singing a different tune when I get a flat tire.
What a meanie!

I christened the new bike today in a downpour .5 miles from my house on the end of my ride. I hate when that happens.
Are you and the Mrs. Going to go on a 6 mile hike now? She might be trying to kill you to get full custody of the Saturn.

I agree. Tell him to mind his own beeswax. That worked for me when i was a yute(ute). I'm glad to hear you had a nice ride.

Mrs datlas and I went on a short walk. The big hike is tomorrow. She wants me to feed the evil bread maker tonight so we can pack sammiches for pickanick lunch tomorrow while hiking. It’s not quite as epic a deal as indyfabz big ride, but prolly good enough.

Finally got out today - it was a little less miserable - and was rewarded with a couple nice welts from some insects, presumably also pissed off about the weather. One, on my hip, is most certainly a bee/wasp sting. I noticed the sting, but didn't see the bee/wasp; it must have gotten caught up in the bottom of my vest. The ride was nice enough, otherwise. I think that, rather than going to pot with the light week, I've been able to recover.
