Tortoise Living Dangerously

 I got out for a ride yesterday. I wasn't feeling great and so I only rode just over 14 miles. I have been not riding as regularly as I should due to the traveling that Chris and I have been doing. Last month was my lowest month, in terms of miles ridden, since December 2024. Looking back; between the weather and travel I have really been slacking off. I am not even riding my Nordic S22i to keep in shape. I need to do better.

While biking yesterday, I happened upon a tortoise that seemed intent on living dangerously. It, apparently, was planning to cross the street and had already cleared the sidewalk. I was able to get a good image of the tortoise with the Space Force tracking station in the background. I hope it made it across and back because its burrow is on the other side of the sidewalk.

This morning, as there are multiple rain showers in the area. I likely will not be out on the streets. I will power up the S22i and pedal for a while in some distant land.
