No ride on Sunday. I was too busy using different muscles, the kind you use doing yard work...lots of it.

There's  a lot of grass to cut out at our lake place where I was, and I cut it all with a push mower...no riding lawmower for me.

Then I dug out a half dozen dead and dying (sad) bushes in the garden in front of the house. Ever dig out the roots of bushes? Bull work.

Then after two beers and a nap, we drove home later in the day, where I proceeded to fire up the mower at home for the first time this season and cut all the grass with a push mower here as well.

That hot shower felt as good as if I had just finished a hard 50-mile ride.

My broken bladed spoke (I had a regular round temporary replacement, was finished Friday and I put the rear wheel back on...made a brake adjustment and am ready to ride Monday and Tuesday of this week. The weather look OK for the first part of the week. Rain moving in later, and then it's vacation time, when the only riding I will be doing will be on a beach cruiser no-speed rented from Billy's Beach Rentals!
