Watching, Not Riding
By Diane UrsuIt’s funny how these slumps come about where getting on the bike just doesn’t seem like it is going to happen. Two days ago, I soaked my water bottles in preparation for ride. Yesterday, I brought my gear in from the house, including my tire pump. Today, I finally brought the bike up to the deck and lubed the chain…I still need to inflate the tires. 
This ride thing just doesn’t seem to be happening. I wake up early, turn on Versus, write my Tour de France article, and no ride happens. The sad thing is that I wait for the AP photos to post so I can grab them for my articles, and they sometimes take a few hours. The reality is that I could go for the ride and then come back and publish the article with the photos. Nuts.
Anyway, here are today’s articles:
I’ve been in a big slump too. I’ve only been on my road bike 2 times this summer. I did a ride around the south part of Camano Island last weekend and it felt great. It was only 16 miles, but there were some tough climbs for someone so out of biking shape! Been swimming a lot since it’s been hot.
That’s funny because you were becoming quite the rock star, for a while!
