The one thing that’s taken me the longest to learn, and I’ve had to relearn it several times, is that the mind doesn’t work well if you neglect the body. I managed to lose a lot of weight so far during the pandemic. I fell off the wagon for a few weeks, but now I’ve set up a “smart” trainer for my bike and I’m giving Zwift a try. So far, I enjoy it.

Back to work after a long weekend. My new folding bike arrived yesterday (which is sad, because UPS drivers had to work on a holiday that too many companies don’t take seriously.) I unpacked it and put it together (which consisted of putting in the seat post and filling the tires) and tried it out. It felt great! I made the plunge and ordered this bike after getting tired of not being able to find a spot to park a Citibike at one end of my commute or the other.
