Today is Thursday October 22 2026 and last night i rode my bicycle outside.
It was good.
i mentioned this before but i've settled into a nice weekly routine, i ride Tuesday before work and Wednesday after work. Then hopefully ride Saturday and Sunday. Life always has a curve ball up it's sleeve and i'll roll with the punches but for now i'm trying to stick to this routine.
Halloween is just over a week away which means Halloween candy is readily available and there are lots of decorated houses to pedal past. Last night during the ride i played a few songs on the blue tooth speaker from one of my many Halloween mix's, tracks from Strander Things are excellent and so is the main theme from Nightmare on Elm Street.
And of course the theme from the movie Halloween is the king.
If i'm not playing Halloween music then i usually play electronic instrumental music, nothing aggressive, i want music with the right mix of propulsive-ness and whimsy.
And i try not to play it to loud... unless its a bad a*s song which everyone needs to hear.
i pulled a muscle in my butt during the ride. Or if i didn't pull it it cramped. Whatever it was its concerning and something i'll have to address, probably with some yoga and other off bike stuff. i did the same thing the day before the Little Sugar race almost 2 weeks ago. On that occasion it happened when i was dismounting and swinging my right leg over the saddle. On this occasion it happened when i got out of the saddle to pedal hard out of a red light.
It's hell getting old.
After the ride i read to the not so little man before putting him to bed and then fell asleep on the couch watching the original Halloween.
Tis the season.
The weather looks primo thru the weekend so hopefully more good riding to come.
