My 142 km ride yesterday was as good as my 100 km ride last week was bad It's amazing the difference eating and drinking properly can make.

Sunday around lunchtime I packed my bike and headed north for a long ride in the country. Along the way I learned a bit more about cycling and some insight into how I engage with life and maybe how I could approach it more effectively.

A last minute route change results in an unexpected wildlife encounter. But the ending is not 100% happy.

Today I reluctantly get out the door for an early morning ride. I'm rewarded with a much improved headache and some more beautiful imagery.

The first day of following through on a commitment to ride routes daily that I chose ahead of time.

Todd talks about what he's been up to, reading, listening, riding, more thoughts on technology and plans for the summer ahead.

A bit of a bumpy start to March's cycle training but otherwise time management is going better. Meanwhile I have thoughts about the insidious ways AI playlists are training us. I end with a link dump of some of the interesting things I've read recently.

In today's entry I talk about my goals for 2026 - but also about the need to not put all one's eggs in one basket but to eat a few along the way to sustain yourself.

Weird weather and weird online experiences this week. I'm not sure I'm 100% on board with all this! *laughing*

I'm an expert at dithering and finding excuses to avoid doing something I know will make me feel good. Yesterday not only did I push through it - I made video proof for my future self to capture just how wrong I was about what a chilly autumn ride would be.
