cycling
Rode my bike twice today. A two mile jaunt, and a 4 mile ride into Island Heights to drop off my wife's packages at the post office. While I did pause during my ascent of Central Avenue, it was past the halfway mark.
Passed two old biddies loudly remarking on my wearing shorts and a t-shirt in 42F/5C/278 Kelvin weather. For heaven's sake, we have clear skies, no wind, and I'm generating heat with exercise.
Today's only frustration regards the Strava's app redesign, burying the feature to record one's ride. Fortunately I marked both rides on Gmap Pedometer, learning both rides burned 1800+ kcal for a fatty like me. OTOH, FatSecret's activity diary says I only burned 678 kcal riding for an hour at an average speed of 10 mph / 16 kph. Had I been patient with Strava, I'd have a better idea of my calorie burn.
In other news, I acquired Station 11 for my e-reader. Reckon I'll read the story after I'm done perusing the Fairy Investigation Society's biannual newsletter, then Pratchett's The Dark Side Of The Sun and Strata.
