Did it!
1,000 miles on the bike this year,
mostly in short trips of 3-5 miles at a time.
(had just two 20-mile days on the Athens trail).
This gives me hope
for finishing
the closet clean-out
I am currently engaged in.
1,000 procrastinated-upon decisions
about whether to keep or toss.
One at a time, girl.
One at a time.
Now WHY is it I don’t think I can write those two stories?
Tempted to Give Up

JUST SOME PICS I took along the Hockhocking-Adena Bikeway the day before we took off to welcome the new baby. Had to bid farewell to a favorite pair of bike pants at day’s end. 
I’ve set myself a goal of 1,000 miles on the bike this year and am up to 400!

TODAY I WORE
while riding my bike
the shirt I do not like.
I do not like the fabric.
Also the neck,
the sleeves,
the hem
and the length.
Plus it doesn’t go at all
with my hair
and
when I wear it
I feel bad about myself
BUT
I can’t part with it
because it has sentimental value
so
when none of my other bike-riding shirt choices
are available
I pull out this one
and hope
everyone in the neighborhood
is simultaneously not at home
to see me wheeling by
OR
that I’m cycling so fast
I’m a mere flash
and nobody has a chance to notice
it doesn’t go with my hair
which -
just to note -
is covered by a red helmet
(and here I’m worried about the shirt)
I can’t even bring myself to take a picture of it.
