Cycling in and around Union County, NC
Quick notes and announcements
Well the weekend is over, Nicole and I managed to ride with the Bee Team. Well not the entire ride, just 15 miles of it on Sunday afternoon. Neck was sore but did not really hurt. A couple of ibuprofen and an ice pack and everything was better.
Wife and I went to see the crafts at the Matthews Alive festival today. Walked around a good bit. Took a few pictures.
This upcoming Saturday, August 8th is the Presbyterian Hospital Invitational Criterium in uptown Charlotte. If you are planning to attend please make an entire evening of it and come out early. Some of the best cyclist I know are women and they deserve our support. The women’s race starts at 5:30 and is a 25 mile event through the streets of uptown Charlotte. Yhen of course stay for the men’s race.
Saw the surgeon for a follow-up and gave him my idea of when I wanted to be back on the bicycle. I was surprised by his answer, he agreed. So basically I am just waiting for the drainage hole in the incision to completely heal. Once that is done I am riding again. Just in time too as I am about 15 pounds heavier than I was last year, and no cycling since April has got me on edge.
Please be patient as we work through some issues with Firefox and posts disappearing.
I apologize if you came to my site earlier today to find anything new and were greeted by a page that told you no posts were available. Seems that yesterday’s release of a new version of Wordpress and old versions of a widget or two, did not want to play nice together. Everything seems to be working now.
If you loved Start Trek growing up or you just like Sci-Fi in general, run down to your local cinema playing the new Star Trek movie.
My camera is being repaired under warranty by Pentax in Colorado and the part they need is being delivered by carrier pigeon and row boat from Japan. It has already been there 20 days with no expected ETA.
Just a real quick note! Hopefully not an April Fool’s joke.
The sander is done and the frame is back in route to Mesa Arizona. Brent emailed us to let us know that sometime next week it should be shipped to Nicole and I. Can’t wait to show it off and to do a sort of photo documentary of the building process.
Nicole was kind enough to take about 230 images.
Been out of town all week and through the weekend, back this week and have a few things to write about.
