bikes and berries
the sun was out once again this morning. always nice to wake up to. after a quick breakfast i went down the the grocery store hoping for cheap meat. no luck. so i bought my hamburger for tomorrow speghetti. after that it was biking time. i went through Jans village again today (by the way he just got engaged). i was hoping id get a chance to ride with him. haha. but didnt happen. so i made a nice loop, on some previously un-ridden roads. and got home at 2 hours and 11 seconds. it was a nice recovery ride. my legs feel good though. no complications at all from running yesterday. so that is good.
after my bike i made some pancakes. then was off to the strawberry field. the field is about 20-25 min away by bike, so i took my madONE. i did not feel like lugging the junker around. i found the field and started picking and eating. and did that for an hour or so, until my crate was full and i had eaten a good amount. i brought home 3.25 kilos (x 2.2 for pounds), at a cost of 5.25 €. so not bad.
on the way home from picking i encountered the fastest tour biker ever. i could make up a whole bunch of excuses as to why this guy was going as fast or im sure at times faster than me, but i just think he was a really fast tour biker. maybe he was doing intervals or something? ha. i even drafted off him for a short time. that was at about 30 km/h on a slight uphill. most tour bikers dont even hit that on downhills!
eventually he slowed down, or mysteriously turned, because he disappeared after a bit. then i was home. cut up the berries, or put chocolate on them. reorganized my fridge to fit them (it must be forced closed), and now i am thinking about dinner. fish or cheeseburger?
ready to eat

The Swiss bike gloves finally came for your mom, so the next time you are in the Waldi area you can think of her as stoker on the back of the tandem with red Swiss bike gloves going down Strand entirely too fast for her comfort. At least she can hang on well thanks to the new gloves. They even look like strawberries.
