    Lazy Day at Home / Windmills

    20. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    I relaxed at home and caught up with my online class I’m teaching and on the window installation. In the evening I did a Zwift ride to keep me riding streak going. Lisa did some work and taught yoga. She also did the courageous work of going to the hardware store to get supplies for the window installation. I decided since I don’t have many photos of the day I would post some windmill photos I’ve been saving.Les mer

    Another CYST Recovery Day

    21. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    The day was spent working on the window and tinkering around the house. We finished the inside trim on the window and later in the day I rode Zwift. The route was the Champs-Élysées in Pairs. It was interesting to ride it In a virtual world verse riding it in real life in the summer of 2018. Duh, real is way better. We miss touring in Europe! 😢Les mer

    100 mile Gravel to Plant a tree

    25. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    I wrote 100 miles of gravel over to Marshalltown. It would’ve been my dad’s 85th birthday. We surprise my mom by arranging a tree planting at the college he taught at for nearly 50 years. The day was super hot, and this made for a tough ride.Les mer

    Sunset Ride #1

    1. august 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    To start the month of August, I planned a sunset ride for Lisa and I. I pick some of our favorite gravel roads To the south east of Iowa City, and paint it so we will be on a B-maintenance road looking over Iowa City right at sunset. Everything worked out perfect and we had a beautiful ride. A fabulous way to start off the month!Les mer

    Yesterday’s sunset ride was so great, I planned another one. I didn’t think it could get any better, but tonight we were graced with a full moon rising too. We are having a fun time this summer exploring gravel roads of Iowa, and making the best of not traveling to Europe!Les mer

    Preparing for Michigan & Evening Ride

    5. august 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Most of the day was spent getting ready for our trip to Michigan. We bought a lot of groceries for Sebastian and his three friends that will be staying at the river without parents! They planned their menu, and plan to prepare all their food at the river over the fire or the barbecue. This will be the boys first real long road trip together. We are glad they are going to follow us on the nearly 7 Hour drive. In the evening we took a ride with Pat, and hit some of our favorite gravel roads to the east and south of Iowa City. We ended up with beers at our house, another fun summer day!Les mer

    Lisa and I spent the day relaxing at the lake. I got out for a nice 45 mile bike ride on the road. Otherwise we were taking the pontoon boat for a ride, fishing, or just relaxing around the lake. Another piece for sunset ride on the water. We didn’t hear anything from the boys at the river, so we assume all is well!Les mer

    Michigan Day 4

    9. august 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Lisa and I got out for a morning bike ride of about 20 miles. After a late breakfast, Adam and I went to explore some more mountain bike trails nearby. The boys seem to be doing fine at the river, and not checking in much. They must be loving the non-parental supervision. Today day is our last full day in Michigan, and we drive home tomorrow. Lisa and I both went water skiing today, and again we took a nice sunset ride in the boat.Les mer
