Alive and blogging

This sinus infection is proving to be a beast, and I still haven’t shaken it. Spent the weekend camping down at Taconic State Park — nice campground with access to a bike path right from the park, which is always nice, but a decidedly downstate influence in the campground, so a more urban camping experience than I like. But I basically want utter silence when I go camping, so just about anyone else’s idea of camping is going to be less than perfection to me. Had a couple of nice rides with the girls and a short hike up to Bash Bish Falls, so it was a nice weekend. Also, fantastic new tent courtesy of my mother (a birthday present to both me and Lee). Turns out there’s a real difference between a $400 tent and a $120 tent. Who’d have thought?

But still run down by this sinus infection, biking a long distance on my own was real work, and I’m not back to running, which I wanted to be. Soon, I hope.

Tour de France? God, how exciting. Beloki? Let’s just say, I don’t want a broken femur. Ouch! Lance is making me nervous here, I’ll admit. But I have faith. Postal is incredibly strong.

Gotta rise early. Not allowed to say why. Really. Just trust your gummint, okay?
