My weekly session went well and slowly some of the dreck in my head is getting sorted, sifted, and classified. It feels like my classifier system was seized and broken for so long it's a bit odd to have it begin to work again.

I got home and then spent some time researching then ordering. I have an e-ink reader coming as I have never had one and hate reading from normal screens. I have to have it uber portable which this OBook5 fits the bill perfectly. I don't need bells and whistles, just a reader and this thing is about 2/3 the size of my phone.

Then I ordered a trainer. The weather is hit or miss right now and this will allow me to get miles in everyday. With riding being FAR less impact on my body in a negative way I am able to ride daily, for longer and farther than if I were to be running/jogging. I have zero need for a $1000+ trainer since I just need it to connect to my Garmin and not have to have a subscription.

I then got myself ready and headed out to the South this time. I have been curious how long it would take me to ride to the grocery store which is 7 miles away via the highway. I took the back roads which was way slower and a bit longer. Less traffic but slower for sure.

This was taken right in front of the house that has the biggest and best Christmas light displays each year, about 3 miles south of the farm.

HOLY SHIT I am sold on riding the highway. The 2 is split 4 lanes so has a huge amount of space outside the rumble strips and is a rather safe ride despite the immense amount of traffic. On my way back to the farm I popped out at the old North 40 building then rode the 2 home. I managed 4 PRs on the ride.

I keep bringing my times down as I ride different areas. I am looking at how to stuff my bike in the sled so I can ride the trails in Spokane...

Just maddening when the 3rd dart won't follow the first 2. Damn thing clipped a flight and slid outside the triple bed...

Holy crap are my quads sore. The roller does a good job of abusing my muscles but FAR less intense than the foam rolling which was like torture. Today I will do a more mellow ride and not be hauling ass in hopes of a bit of a recovery ride before the rain and snow tries to hit us.

Shit weather today most likely so will try to get ride in before the wet hits, boys to school, till garden since it is well above freezing this morning, actually roll the bale into the sheep pen, get dailies done, the #3dprinter is going already, then will have dinner ready early as R has wrestling practice tonight.
