133/365 - Take a Hack!

After working a couple of hours this morning (see the pic), I got back to finishing some of the post-vacation chores. Lori and I offloaded the camper -- and Lori started scaling a mountain of laundry. After carting my stuff from the camper, putting the bikes away, cleaning out the cooler, unloading the Jeep (no small task), trimming some hedges (for better access to the camper/jeep -- always practical w/ yardwork), and working on Eddy (new computer), I managed to put in 27 miles of bike riding.

It was very windy, which should be good training for OKfree. The thousands of feet of climbing confuse the issue, but why worry about that? Oh, that Brooks saddle is the cat's meow let me tell you!

We negotiated the last 500 miles today. No adventures to speak of, and that is good.

Cookie is checking the Jeep over to make sure it is ready to go. Gas cans, check. Bike rack, check. Shovel, check (needed later that day to save the Mothership). Mud, dirt, and sand everywhere, check...
