Well…after getting an early ride in today and getting wet in the process, I was almost resigned to only doing one ride until it stopped raining and the radar looked like I’d have a while to get out without getting wet again…and I did…but I was smart for a change today and only did two rides even when I had time to do a third one…and I feel pretty good about that…maybe I’m breaking the compulsion to ride and ride? Doing three a day has taken up all my time and I really do want to do other things…so this evening, instead of a ride, I just fooled around in the yard and got some work done…trimmed the bushes growing into my yard from the house to the East so I can mow between the garden and the fence easier and got out my big pole cutter and took the top off a crappy bush in the empty house so my garden will get more light…then took down a\u00a0 bunch of dead branches, bundled them up and put them out for pickup tomorrow….and filled another yard bag with the trimmings from the bushes….then got the tomato cages put in along with some stakes for the excess tomato plants…..all in all, a pretty productive 2 hours out there…and I don’t feel nearly as worn out as doing 45 miles so that is a plus and I hope that will continue tomorrow…I mean, isn’t 30 miles a day enough? I’ll probably still do a 45 miler every once in a while but not every day….unless I get bored….and that happens a lot….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
