The bike....

its time...

must brave the roads here in Virginia. It will be interesting to see what its like trying to get to the Prince William Parkway bike path.

Plans for hitting the Zoo today have been put off till Thursday, maybe we'll have a chance encounter with the one and only - THE gwadzilla. Tomorrow we hit the road for a little trip to Richmond... so today - before my knees totally fail i'm gonna get on the bike.

Last night man my knees were killin me, its like the muscles all have checked out and gone on vacation. Will see if i can, as christine says, wake up the legs. Its only 5 or 6 miles of open road warrior roads leading to the path on the parkway, but i'm looking forward to making note of the habits of the car bound rotund fat asses that make their homes in these over sized cookie cutter development centers. 10,000 square feet of a house parked 6 feet from the neighbor... there is a demand and i will say my in law's place is very atypical (a fact not lost on them when they decided to get over here - mostly to be near my sis-in-law). I'm sitting here with a great view of the creek and some woods. Oaks still clinging to their leaves and walkers (who appear to be also atypical in their waist sizes) strolling on the path along the creek. The path unfortunately has a nice big no bike sign on it. It would make a nice cross loop with the rest of the subdivision.

James Brown is dead. Long Live the King. The Post has a picture of him from 1972, i was only around for about a year and even then he didn't look young.

okay... well the moment has passed - time to move on from my selfish indulgence sitting here no the computer.

gonna be the anti-drunkcyclist tonight... sober cyclist... as CTodd correctly says - cycles are good - my could day reversion to my drunkcyclist self was healthy. In some ways. In others, not so. A wee sinus infection has reared its head and causing me some frustration. That's another reason to get on the bike, and not indulge. But it also supports another correlation. The only time i've been sick has been after a stressfull weekend filled with loads of beer and wine... so it makes sense that i'm dipping ever so slightly into the not healthy range...

peace out... be safe...
