All at Sea on a Sunday

All at Sea on a Sunday

Playlist: All in my mind – no electronics tonight.

Usually it’s an F150 looming over my left shoulder!

If you’ve ever seen what a deer can do to a truck when the two encounter each other on the road at night you will understand why I rode this evening with my fingers on the brake levers ready to stop at a moments notice. Admittedly my bike travels much slower than a truck but then neither am I cocooned in a protective steel cage so the damage done by colliding with a deer could still be considerable. I had delayed my Sunday ride until evening to avoid the heat of the day but I underestimated the numbers of deer that wander the streets of Country Club and Fulton after dark.

Cycle Training Progress

Playlist: Chris Rea – Texas

7th month of the year and I thought I’d check on my progress. There is no word yet from H.E.B. or The Chamber of Commerce regarding the fate of Conquer the Coast 2020, other than a “save the date” graphic on Facebook (9/12/2020), so I fear that it will not be going ahead this year. However I continue to train – just in case. 🚴
