Catching up with Spring

 Catching up with Spring

An entire month without a post! Ooops! Heather's colleague Rafa came to visit for a few days before they headed off to Greece to hobknob with fellow philosophical wizards. Zio Lorenzo keeps his old Super Gravel Monster here in-case anyone wants to enjoy some cycling.

So Zio's on-his-own for the week, so he'll go and check out the Viva Mexico Festival. We don't get Mexican food here so this might be some tasty fun?

Zio's recovering from the latest medical intervention, a second ablation (the first one they said was for atrial flutter, the second for atrial fibrillation) but still on the bike for 1-2 hours 3-4 times a week. We're signed up for a self-guided vacation in Tuscany, in May riding the entire route of l'Eroica over 5 days. The crazies get up before sunrise and do the whole thing in one day while we'll not be heroes, especially because we'll ride our e-gravel bikes.

Europe has changed to summer time this weekend. This doesn't mean much when you're retired but it does mean warm temps are coming - March came in "like a lion" but it's not going out "like a lamb" as knickers and long sleeves are still the go-to for cycling here. Brrrrr!
