He's Back

Yes, I rode to work today.

And ...


The Chieftain is back. He pulled up shortly after me. He rode yesterday, too. He told me he'd gone thirty-five days without riding. He said it was the longest he'd gone without riding in years.

I did ride last Thursday, but was off Friday and yesterday. The occasion was a Kodo concert at the University of Illinois. While she was at the concert I spent the evening catching up with a friend I'd not seen in a long long time. She took me to a small Japanese garden. I'm not sure if it was part of the University or simply near it.


It was very nice.

Today was a lovely day for riding. Rain in the forecast for the rest of the week. We'll see.

  • 51F/10.5C and overcast for the ride to work.
  • 55F/13C and a few clouds for the home ride.

  1. U of I at CU? That's my stomping grounds! Where I grew up! If this is where you were, did you go to the Japan House? If so, that would be where the gardens are. It's part of the U and right near the vet school complex. Huge complex.

    I can see the effects of the visit in your last photo.
