I consider the whole week of my birthday to be my week. Maybe it’s because the weather is so unpredictable. Whenever it’s nice that week (this week!), I head out for a delightful hour-long romp in the colors.
The ball started rolling with a short-notice small-group toodle (with Vardy, Steve and John) when the weather broke last weekend. We even got in a smooth mile of dirt — on my handmade sewups!
Then I went canoeing a couple days ago on the Red Cedar, just down the street. I did paddling, poling and SUP. I want to make a video showing SUP in a canoe. So far it’s just a surf scene rage, but it’s just as fun in a canoe. I made a makeshift outrigger to hold my camera but it bounced too much — a flop. Literally. I suppose I need to tri-guy it.
Yesterday it was sunny for an hour mid-day so I jumped out again and did some biking on a Meridian Park trail down the road.
I’m going for a trifecta of bike first’s this weekend: my first local Critical Mass on Friday (at MSU); my first CX race in Ann Arbor on Sat. (costume required — crunk party later on); my first Poto ride in decades at the Potto Fest Revival on Sunday (I wonder if my bike will even hold up — I bet it’ll take beater honors!). After the Potto we’ll go to a friend’s kid’s birthday party — maybe I can kinda call it my party, too! When your birthday is on Halloween weekend, every party is your party! That’s how I roll…

Fall Toodle with Pals. (I need more tweed and argyle to break up the outline.)
What a view!
