It's a day late, but it's out. This one's about rest. Sort of building on the previous one, and reminding you it's not only "fine" to rest. It's imperative. A couple weeks ago, I spent part of my day doing laps on the back side of Thurston Hills. Got a few thousand feet of climbing in. That's helping me feel more confident as I get ready to ride Oregon Outback route again. I'm stoked to pedal across the state with friends. I've still got a short leg, but I think I can do it. I sure do like this thing. It's my "fast" bike. Maybe not as fast as yours, but that's fine. I'll get there eventually. "We all hate this. We hate delayed gratification. We want it now. We want the accomplishment, the congratulations, the stability, the finish line. But much of the stuff we really desire takes time. Trying to be Decent No. 4, "Truths From the Saddle," is out this morning at 9:15AM Oregon time.
