Third time lucky

Today I met up with my old friend Jude in Arrowtown. We live at opposite ends of the country. This is the third time I've tried to do the biking trip we start tomorrow.

First a COVID lockdown and then a decent whack to my head. I do have a bike issue to solve but that can wait until morning. It's cold and I expect a few flakes of snow later. Nothing is going to stop me this time. Five days of biking = joy. :-)

Today I'm posting my 5000th blip. That's a big number. I think I've been doing this gig for nearly 14 years.

Today's gratitude: For good friends who weather the test of time.
