Weather is getting colder and colder. Had to wear my heavy long sleeve shirt today. What happened to summer? Or even fall?!
Thought I would be all cute and take selfies with my bicycle in front of a swampy area then Photoshop in a Sasquatch or alien in later. However as I was making sure the images came out OK I heard a loud splash into the water. My first thought was alligator (totally legitimate threat in northern Illinois in October!) so once I made sure nothing was running at me I jumped on the bike and rode away as fast as I could. Hence why I have such a good time stat today.

Cloudy fall day but perfect weather for a ride. A little cool but just the right amount for working up a sweat. The Other came with me today and it was fun to ride with someone – especially since I was more in the mood to play video games! I also got to try out my new Bionic Cycling gloves which were pretty amazing. The padding is intense but doesn’t get in the way or make you lose contact with the handlebars. This first ride I was getting used to them but I look forward to future rides where I can really see how they perform.
Fun fact – title quote is from John F Kennedy!

Beautiful fall day. Weather was crisp and clean. Although I was harassed by a rude squirrel. I actually saw the same squirrel on the return trip – ran across my path again. I guess when you have shit to do you can’t let anyone get in your way.

I read this article today and was pretty shocked at the recommendations and viewpoints of the author. I felt it was not only fear mongering, but uninformed fear mongering (i know, what fear mongering is informed) but this was shocking in terms of the advice given.
Taping over your camera is like taping over the check engine light. You aren’t really solving the problem, just ignoring it and hoping it won’t get worse.
The article states that most of hackers get on your PC when you click on email links or website links. So maybe we need to teach kids in school a computer safety education (since it seems like kids get laptops in grade school now) like we do (or should do) with sex education. Don’t click on emails from people you don’t know, how to read email headers to make sure its coming from the right person, don’t punch the monkey, don’t send personal details/images etc.
The more prevalent technology is in society, the more infrastructure we need to support it. and that include education on how to interact with it safely
The days are getting shorter and it makes me sad. Today the sun was setting at 6:44pm! Just a few weeks ago it was 8:14pm!! Oh well, there are good things about fall – pumpkin pie mostly. Lots of critters on the trail tonight, check out the video for an awesome trash panda sighting!

I wanted to show you the Trash Panda, but I was also playing with the video editing software so enjoy my feeble attempts at transitions and slo-mo

No ride tonight as the weather wasn’t the greatest (Brent and I actually rode then in a drizzle) and one of the usual riding members was injured. So instead after Brent and I rode to the bike shop we headed right over for Chili!!! I don’t like to ride with a big belly (insert fat joke here) so I got Berries and Cream which was super delicious. But then again I am a woodland fairy so thing like berries and cream and super sweet fruity tea is right up my alley 🙂
For whatever reason the GPS on my phone wasn’t cooperating tonight so it didn’t fully track my ride. Here is the data I have:
Part 1
Distance: 0.00mi
time: 44:14
pace: N/A
speed: 0.00mi/h.

speed: 8.94mi/h.

I still had a lot of fun but it was a pretty long ride! almost 30 miles! I think its the longest ride I have done this season. Brent was kind enough to lend me his GPS data, which although not perfect is a good indicator of the overall ride. Brent rides farther then me so I think this overstates my ride by 5-7 miles.
