With some long rides planned for a few months time, I needed to get out on the bike for a few hour despite the poor forecast. The following photos are few random things that took my eye. With the recent and ongoing wet weather the Thames is running high and fast. A few feral geese … Continue reading "A DAY IN THE IND AND RAIN"

I’d love to be out on my bike
Not much to post today, actually no ride at all. We took our bikes to get an inspection as preparation for summer after the messy winter months. I thought I would have my bike back the next day – but they discovered some cracks in the rear rim. That was an unpleasant surprise since the … Continue reading "I’d love to be out on my bike"
Read MoreApril Challenge — Putting an ump in April
Part 1 (April 1st thru 15th) Ok, there is no Ump in April unfortunately — unless we count a baseball Ump . . . But, April is a good time to renew our Oooomph, or, Ump, to get back out there cycling on a regular basis Some Nixonian Era expletives could and probably should … Continue reading "April Challenge — Putting an ump in April"
Read MoreI’d R’ide
I have been absent from the website for almost three weeks! But I’ve been on my bike most days. Really nothing special to say. I ride my usual rides, Gauting to Pasing, 21 km, and Gauting to Starnberg, 21 km, on days when I have tai chi and yoga. On those days I ride even … Continue reading "I’d R’ide"
Read MoreOut and About
Here’s just a quick post to prove I’m alive and well after a long winter. On a quick trip to stay at my son’s house for a couple of days, and took the opportunity to ride the Harlem Valley Rail Trail (featured in some posts last year). Oh, and more snow and sleet expected tomorrow. … Continue reading "Out and About"
Read MoreI’D LOVE TO GET A WINDOW OF DRY OVER THESE NEXT FEW DAYS OF RAIN!!
These days it seems like Seattle has 12 winters and 12 springs, and you never know which one might stick. Today brings a switch back to winter weather, complete with hail, sleet and perhaps even lowland snow (!!). That is what yesterday’s newspaper reported ;’-(. So I got ready to hunker down and accept it … Continue reading "I’D LOVE TO GET A WINDOW OF DRY OVER THESE NEXT FEW DAYS OF RAIN!!"

I’D LIKE TO RIDE IN SOME SUN
And lo, we got two days in a row of sunny gorgeous weather. Plus, I did my own ride on a not so gorgeous day in between that was at least warm and dry. Just a few photos to share from sunny ride days. My friends Kathy and Carol rode with me along the Centennial … Continue reading "I’D LIKE TO RIDE IN SOME SUN"
Read MoreMixtie Does the Can-Can
Not that kind of Can-Can This kind of can (can) After a winter of collecting cans of all sorts, the ditches here are resplendent with various examples. Wisconsin may have been out drinking us since 1848 but it looks like we are running a close second. HERE is a look at what Mixtie found … Continue reading "Mixtie Does the Can-Can"
Read MoreI’D JUST LIKE TO RIDE MY BICYCLE
Between my availability (camping; family) and the weather (rain, snow, cold, wind) I have ridden my bike much less than I would hope for. I have gotten in a few very short rides but not even enough to take a photo to post here. Today was the day for a nice long one ????????. I … Continue reading "I’D JUST LIKE TO RIDE MY BICYCLE"
Read MoreToday I’d Like to photograph, lambs, a roof and something for Nancy.
First lambs of the year for me, though they look far from new born. It’s been a while since I’ve photographed a thatched roof, so I thought I’d take one of this recently re-thatched cottage, in East Hanney. Then just round the corner in the same village I came across this (this one’s for Nancy). … Continue reading "Today I’d Like to photograph, lambs, a roof and something for Nancy."

We are almost a week into the month and I haven’t posted a single ride yet. But I have been on the usual short rides, weather permitting, and if it’s just long enough to stretch my legs and breathe some fresh air – and freeze the tip of my fingers and toes. As for the … Continue reading "March I’d-Rides"
Read MoreI’D LIKE TO DO AN ERRAND BY BIKE
Since weather prevented me from doing my bank errand by bike, I have been sad about that. The drive up teller said hello to me and that she really had a hard time recognizing me out of my biking gear! I almost never do this errand by car. I roped Susan into hooking up the … Continue reading "I’D LIKE TO DO AN ERRAND BY BIKE"
