CLC Ride 6 – To the market
We were way too tired to do an overnight ride this weekend, so it was a couple easy rides on our local loop. The guys did manage a couple floatie sessions and I finally had the chance to take naps both days (I don’t have that chance at work!). Check it all out in the link below.

Hi Em,
As the weather cools off, I trust you will be inviting all your cycle365 colleagues over for soup, pasta, and bread! I’ll bring a couple of bottles of sturdy Sonoma County red. š
Certainly, Bill, come on down. You may like to try some of the Rutherglen Reds while you are here. They are full-bodied and very smooth, apparently. You can cycle to all of the wineries very easily. The region is most known for its fortifieds, though. The Pfieffers winery that I had a pic of has won awards with their muscat. Since I drink very little alcohol, I have no expertise or recommendations. I do make good soup, though š
Em dearest,
We enjoyed your farmer’s market ride much more than our own. We will be accompanying Bill to join you for a meal.

You are more than welcome to come down š The ride to my nearby market is decidedly less urban than yours, but I think the vibe and the stalls would be similar. There was no cheese on offer this past weekend, though. I like good cheese – and you could definitely tempt me your way with some chevre from those goats š
The Farmers Market sounds the same as the Launceston version. Some people call it the $50 shop which is probably a little unkind as the produce is rather better than the supermarket’s version.
I am trying to keep clear of mosquitos but have been “got” several times of late. And March-flied too yesterday while lunching at Four Springs Lake. I have been trying to reserve some time for a last overnight ride before it gets too cold but it looks like I will have to stick to day rides as there is always something that must be done unrelated to cycling.
Continue with the gently gently approach and you WILL improve – only sorry it is so slow.
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement, Tony. Gently, gently is very frustrating but I am trying hard. I feel like I’ve plateaued at 50% capacity and can’t improve that. Yes, I balk at paying $6 for a head of cauliflower at a market – you have to get to know your particular market I guess, and figure out what is good value for the quality. The three-month weather outlook looks warmer and drier than average, even down your way… so you may get a surprise overnight in there later in the season than normal. Those march fly bites are terrible – they itch like crazy for weeks and swell so much compared to the size of the bite! Hope you only encountered non-nasty mozzies….
