I got some good rides in early last week. I especially enjoyed our challenging group ride on Tuesday up in the hills East of Gilroy. This doesn’t have any really long climbs, just lots of them. I was getting tied towards the end, with electric assist (on my upright). So I was impressed by those without assist who toughed it out. I learned an amusing new term for bikes without assist- “acoustic bikes”. Later in the week, around Thursday, I started feeling a little under the weather. It is hard to tell if this is just allergies this time of…

I love participating in loyalty and reward programs. They’re almost always free, gets you free “stuff,” and there’s really no downside. The only risk is that you overspend, which I’m not prone to do. And if you don’t participate, you invisibly subsidizing the folks who do. It’s like not using a rewards credit card, you still pay a premium but you don’t get any rewards. What gets especially challenging is when you start hoarding points. This happens a lot with travel rewards because you want to wait until there are transfer bonuses you can take advantage of, less so with…
