    Ronne, Seems a theme these days is taking more breaks! Dh and I feel better cycling every other day. I finally figured out my ankle issue! I figured I didn’t need to add my supportive insoles since I’m just sitting on the bike. Well, as a last ditch effort I pulled the left insole out of my...

    Jody, you sure won’t want to ride if they do something! I had to have some spots removed (I think it was called colposcopy). Ouch! Dr saved the best (Er worst one) for last, yowch! I said it too and he giggled and said he’s done this a few times and knew to save that one for last. Had a great...

    Ronne, I cried for a month after my first went to college! The 2nd kid I celebrated! Haha! Meh on swimming. I loved as child, now not so much. Dries out my skin in this dry climate especially. Plus since I’m turning into my mother I think of it as everyone’s bath water, ew! Good idea though...

    Hi ladies, quiet around here! I’m here less because I feel like a cathe imposter these days. I miss living but don’t miss the neck pain! I’m bummed because I have put on weight and I blame not being able to lift heavy, sigh. Anyways, not sure if I said, I got new bike shoes, stiffer sole, I’m...

    Hi all, I guess I haven’t posted in awhile (Mary. Called me out! ). I’ve just been tired this week. Who knows why, age?(Mary, don’t you have a birthday this month? Double nickels? ) or maybe I pushed it too hard on my rides. Tuesday, hills into a headwind resulted in my garmin telling me I...

    HI everyone! Its been hot, hot, and hot here! We have been riding our shorter distances. The beginning of this week we are off dog sitting duty so we escaped to the mountains yesterday to ride to get away from the heat. It was beautiful! We only did a day trip and were completely exhausted...

    Hi ladies! Has everyone melted? Ronne, I see the hot temps in Europe, wow! Mary I hate humidity! We had a cool day ( 70) but oh the humidity, I was drenched from my easy bike ride, I sweat so much, I’m sure Jody remembers from the Road trip. Im not sure how I ever survived growing up in...

    Yep, that’s the bike path (the fence starts right when you start over the bridge) and the highway is to the right where the sinkhole is. I really liked this route ☹️

    First picture on this page is the wall that holds up the highway and is collapsing. Where that orange cone is right where we ride the bike. https://www.cpr.org/2019/07/15/u-s-36-sink-hole-likely-caused-by-water-mixing-with-collapsible-soil/

DH and I had been cycling, and now it got HOT! So I’m going to (I promise) going to use this time to clean house before I have some GFs over...

    Hi everyone, trying to quickly fly by. Not because I’m busy working out or cycling but doing some VR stuff on this new Oculus Quest our son got us hooked on (especially dh). 4th went as expected, holding suki. Thank goodness she’s eating since we’re watching sons dogs so it’s competition to...

    Ronne, I've heard about the heatwave in Europe, sounds awful! Wow, a trip to New York, what are you going to do? So took a long walk to release stress from last night's storm and Suki's anxiety and it was nice though my ankle hurt. Then as I turned in my street, anxiety prevailed (for me), a...

    Jody, that snorkel sounds fun, what an awesome plan even with burned feet! Mary, time for someone else to have bad luck (but not me!). The mountains had snow, not just up high but I’m the ski towns. One resort still has ski runs open until July 4th! Ronne, I watch the amazing race and they...
