The days of cold mornings is gone! We’re into warm days and nights in the sixties now, which makes for great sleeping weather and biking weather.

I did another 30 mile ride yesterday and I was glad that I went in the morning. The afternoon would have been too warm for it. I was also very glad for the camelbak that I bought to ride with- being able to take small sips of water while I ride helps in the long haul. I want to try out some of the energy gels that are out there though; toward the end of the rides I run low on energy and I think they would help.

A quick lawn mower update; I’m really liking the Troy-bilt. It comes with a bagger but also includes the side discharge chute, which my old mower didn’t. Changing over from one to the other is really easy and this way I can use the bagger on the lawns around the house and switch to the side discharge for mowing the longer grass. I have to admit too that I’m really glad for the electric start also!
