Roll With the Punches


Monday, well here we go, another week with lots of appointments, driving, phone calls, and setting up the rest of the week. Trying to line up everything so it's a productive week. The key though, is to be flexible and able to roll with the punches because 80% of what is planned will end up being tweaked, changed, and pushed way back down the calendar. I guess that's why they call it the rat race. But all that aggravation flies down the road at the end of the day as I get on my bike and ride. Depending on the day, frustration a lot of times determines the speed. Funny how it works that way!

One of the cool sections on my 20 mile course is on a road that runs along the Stono River. This is just one of the rivers here in the Charleston area that flows to the Atlantic. There are always a couple of cars parked on the side of the road where some of the locals do a little fishing and crabbing. I really enjoy this area because they recognize me and cheer as I ride past. It's like I'm riding in the Tour de Wappoo Rd. Kind of fun! Probably won't be able to ride tomorrow because I'm heading out of town to Florence, SC for the day. But we'll see, just have to roll with the punches and see what happens!
