Today's message from some dude in a car who was unhappy to be behind me on the parkway was, "Get a car!" That made me laugh. Silly boy. We have two cars! We also have seven bicycles. Maybe he wanted me to buy more cars?
Anyhow, today I was on a mission to get things accomplished. One thing on the list of things to do was self-care. Thus, I decided to, as I told my husb, "go for a short ride of about three hours." He laughed and pointed out that most people don't think of a three-hour ride as a short ride. I was gone for four, but that also involved a lunch break and some good headwinds. (The tailwinds were fantastic, by the way.)
In five days, I'll be headed to Duluth for the two-day bike ride home. I'm hoping the weather this year will be good. No matter what, though, it will be a good ride, for a good cause. Thanks, all, for helping me get closer to my goal!

I never actually got yelled at, but I'm sure people mutter all kinds of things I can't hear. Once when I paused to look at a sign in someone's windshield to see why they were parked in the bike lane, I got a "you got a problem?" (They weren't in the car.) Their alley was being repaired, so they got a permit to park in the bike lane. Some people just don't like bikers. Hopefully you never get next to one who wouldn't feel bad if they hit you.
