Cycle Training 2020 #31
Week beginning July 26th, 2020
All is not lost … in spite of the bad weather
House maintenance, yard work, & other stuff!
Catchup, Roundup, Ramblings
Tropical Storm Hanna had the temerity to achieve Hurricane status before finally making landfall South of Corpus Christi.
Wet weather and flooded coastal roads were the only problems encountered. Well, that and preventing me from doing much cycling.
We spent Friday afternoon de-weeding a flower bed in the back yard and re-planting it with real flowers. Patty is happy 🙂
Saturday afternoon we repainted the ceiling in the hallway, because our old a/c unit had leaked water and damaged the plaster, and then installed a new light unit. (The new a/c unit went in some months ago at considerable expense!) Patty is very happy 🙂
Cycling – 2004. I entered a local cycle run when living in Scotland; Emily rode with me in her “cycle seat” and we were accompanied by good friend Karen. I seem to remember I had to get off and push my bike, and Emily, up one of the steeper hills on the route. Fun times.

Thankfully Hurricane Hanna made landfall far enough South of us to be a minor inconvenience rather than a big problem. We did not suffer any damage from either wind or storm water. Some folks did sustain damage but overall Rockport was little affected. The major problem for me is the embarrassingly low mileage I managed to cover in my weekly training program. 13 miles for goodness sake!

Sometimes I use the church parking lot to do some mileage.
