For Women's Day I went out with one of my girlfriends for a 30 mile ride across Buffalo Mountain in the Cherokee National Forest. We had gorgeous blue skies and temps in the upper 50's (F) to low 60's (coming down from the mountain, following alongside the Nolichucky river it was considerably colder!) Then we stopped for some amazing (b/c everything tastes AMAZING after a ride) Udon noodles. An absolutely fabulous day all around! I would love to be entered for a chance at the Ibex gloves and the Little Package hat.

Thank you, pleas...This is a lovely idea, Velouria! Thank you, please consider me for the draw for the gloves. I love Ibex products. They would have been lovely today, in rural Maryland this Saturday, we hit 57 degrees; I did a 30 mile ride through the countryside, and came home to the pleasure of putting on a fancy new rear tire and cleaning my bike in the sunshine, while my four kids played around.<br /><br />For International Women's Day -- this will sound odd, but it was very interesting. I teach philosophy classes at a Catholic seminary, and on that day, it so happened that the topic on the syllabus for my class on the human person was sex difference. I had a very interesting conversation with my 18 male students about things we cannot and can say about the ways in which men and women are different. Important stuff, with an interesting crowd, very eager to learn.

Donna Brazile gave a moving keynote speech focused on the qualities of leadership demonstrated by Harriet Tubman. <br /><br />Bike wise, I need to check tire pressure and start biking now that we're enjoying non-freezing weather in Michigan.

It makes me feel very fortunate.<br />I had the day off yesterday, so... while shoveling the porch steps I gingerly swept a small band of snow off of my bicycle seat. Very happy I left my rain cover on to protect my seat, which soaks up water like a sponge. My puppy licked snow off the tires to help. <br />I am a big fan of ibex, so please include me in the glove draw. Thank you!

I found a matching rear rack which clamps to the seatpost and has two rows of red dots along the top. The red gloves or cool red cap would be a perfect accessory when I ride "Diablo". The bike is a lefty, with 20" tires and a very strong frame. I like the unique look and the red accent graphics.

Tonight I carried it upstairs to the kitchen and moved some parts over to my second hand Globe. It'll meet my needs much better. That put me in a bike mood, so I logged on for a Lovely fix. The flower would go perfectly on my Peterboro basket with a red and yellow toile lining I sewed last summer, so please enter me for that one.

We figured we'd get in some miles before the blizzard hits tonight. To add a bizarre and somewhat disconcerting twist, when we got home we turned on the tv and learned that a dead body was discovered a few feet from the trail right near the point where we turned around. <br /><br />Seriously, given the timing of it all, they must have found it just a few minutes after we left. To make it even spookier, it was only about a mile away from the spot where CatMan had wandered off into the bushes to answer nature's call. If his bladder had lasted another mile or so, he could very well have been the one to find it!<br /><br />Cue the Twilight Zone music!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.com
