Hot here today.. on National Bike to Work from home Day!
Same tomorrow… 80-90.. but as Aladdin said.. Robin Williams’ version…”We’re outta here!” (He had dementia also)
Today, one more dynamic stress test, Jeff and I did a slow 26 or so. I pounded some local 8-10% grades in my neighborhood. Been doing that lately. Steep, but short. It’s for the burn!
This eve, final packing and.. best news… I’m an Honorary Sucka!
Lowell rode with the nicest, most lovingest group of folks..collectively called The Suckas. You can’t walk up and ask to join.. you gotta be invited or get ‘jumped in’ or something. (It’s a biker 1%er thing I think.)
Anyway, many of them have joined this effort and they wanted to thank me for caring about Lowell the way they do. They sent me a team Sucka jersey that has a nice silhouette of a bunch of them on the back. So Lowell, truly has my back on this ride! But this is the front.
Looking forward to meeting them and hopefully being capable to ride with them.
They called Lowell the Polite Hammer. PH. He had the strength and ability to come up behind you on a hill, “explain how time was invented, ask you how your family is doing”.. then pound up the hill and wait for an answer.
Yeah.. I’m told strong, sweet and loving… like my Mother.
Thank you all.
Oh, yeah, the title.. I kinda like that song by Joey Tempest and Europe.
Good luck at the start of the trip to settle into a comfortable and sustaining pace! Strong work, Sucka!! Inspiring.
