“M’aidez” (Old French for Help Me they say that actually means); route went through Tornado Country again & the repairs are going slowly indeed. Still many roofing nails on the roads & many shells of houses covered by blue tarps. Some Government agency has stuck warning signs on several houses roughly saying Rebuild Soon Or Forfeit. Just all kinds of sad packed into a few blocks.
I broke off from the standard climbing route because I’m weary of the guessing-game of the Project Houses – currently being upgraded to Townhouses but the completion is years away. Danger is part of the deal especially riding Fixed but the wrong kind of danger is indulgent. Took part of the old ride over to the Back Loop of Shelby & the place is still lovely & politely trafficked; alas I surprised a newly riding couple into nearly crashing in tandem when I passed them.
Legs feel fine; it will be a good season.
I had not realized the FITIV app showed effort at places before. Useful.
