Ok, but first coffee

June Hundo prep this morning, so spastic so crazy, so much going on, nothing predictable, no routine, and no where near as much riding as I want.

Ok, but first coffee.

that's kind of the prelude to everything now.

yeah i'm struggling

yeah i've said some shit maybe i shouldn't have

life's pretty freaking crazy

today's loop should be fun, start the day off with the local gang.

The first loop will be able all most of them will be able to do but that's fine, Goldberg has worked his butt off to clear a schedule today so he can do the whole ride with me. And I will forever be indebted to that guy, his company on the long rides in May and every other ride together are wonderfully appreciated.

I'm a lucky asshole to have friends like him.

I guess i'm also lucky that i got everything ready and felt hungry and was able to make a quick PB&J for breakfast (skipping the eggs today for some reason). Lunch/fuel packed. Trying something different in the pockets. I think it may be a bad idea but why not. And lucky in that i have a chance to sit down and reflect a bit.

AND MAKE MORE COFFEE.

in a few minutes I have to drive in kit to drop oldest kid off, then race back and jump on bike and hopefully get to ride start in time.

The initial plans were changed by kid's schedule change. Drop her off an hour earlier then get to ride start and order coffee and chill and wait for everyone to roll up. Perhaps others will chill and enjoy a coffee waiting for me to roll up.

Three Seven Stars June Leaf Ride -in memory of all the trees on the west side of the state that lost all their leaves to hungry gypsy moth caterpillars. Lets see if i remember that title when I hit stop on the phone. Also yes, annoying still that i'm text only on rides, but hey, whatever, it is only an inconvenience to others for the most part.

And hey - it keeps me off social media, which probably is a good thing, at this rate i won't have any friends left on there, just the bots. But hey maybe i can figure out a way to get bots to block me too!

Five minutes.

more coffee.

Also wishing i have some of those white sun sleeve things for my arms. Sunday's sunburn was enhanced on Tuesday and Wednesday. First coat is on, will re-apply just before I roll out the door. I do have confidence in the Blue Lizard, i just probably should have used it Sunday. Oops.

time for crazy to get moving
