Fall Bike Rides

The garden season is coming to an end, two of the three big projects that have occupied me--the way Germany occupied Paris--are in the can, and the weather is breaking. That means a couple of things, but mostly bike rides are coming back.



There's still the IT band problem, most recently diagnosed as a too tight pectineus. (Don't get me started on the stretches I'm supposed to do for that.) So I'm swapping out long runs right now for longish bike rides. Fall racing is on the way, and I'm supposed to start my half-marathon training plan in about a week--we'll see how that works out.
