Apprehension
More than one person has observed I do things backwards in the cycling world. I start a ride program in the fall or winter instead of the late spring. I optimistically “plan” for long rides and pedal them pessimistically.

Yes, That Ride
Some ride reports are about how fast who went where. Others, my favorite kind, give a kind of sideways transcription of the experience. Joe does just that with Portland to Glacier, Yes that Glacier. He made a glib comment during the winter about riding the Portland to Glacier if it were offered. [...]
