36 miles + trapeze

Had a long, slow, deliciously lazy morning, in which I think I got about 11 hours of sleep (catching up on lost time during the week – being short on sleep makes me stress).  Got up, did a 3-hour, 36-mile ride, came home & ate dinner, then cut and drilled all the parts for a trapeze.  Tomorrow night I’ll set it up, after I get back from my bike fitter (getting my commuter shoes fitted and getting measured for cycling orthopedics).

I’ve also unchained the painted warp and separated it into its component bouts, which are now nicely wrapped on kitesticks, ready to be raddled and beamed on once I get the trapeze going.

Having some saddle issues, so I think I will move tomorrow’s 1.5 hour ride to Tuesday.
