What a great ride.
Sunday, I wanted a relaxing ride and since I had gotten "Flat Chance" my 1978 Peugeot single speed back in running order, decided to take the road less travelled. It was on rough roads, dirt roads, and nice black topped roads. At one point on a stretch of flat farm land I got buzzed by an old WW2 trainer and I stopped and waved and the guy gave me a 15 minute private airshow. He did loops, stall climbs, spins, smoke...amazing.
I also got some great strength training on some hills as I had to do some serious pedal mashing with the biggish gear choice.
This weekend will be the peak of great foliage so I can't wait till then.

Tired of being unlucky?
It seems that luck is a based on behavior.
I have been curious about why some things have been happening to me lately and this seems to explain it.
USE YOUR INTUITION! Unlucky people often fail to follow their intuition when making a choice, whereas lucky people tend to respect hunches. Lucky people are interested in how they both think and feel about the various options, rather than simply looking at the rational side of the situation. Gut feelings act as an alarm bell - to consider a decision carefully.
VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE! Unlucky people tend to be creatures of routine. By contrast, lucky people try to introduce variety into their lives. Doing the same thing every day, or thinking about the same thing every day creates a rut that prevents you from encountering opportunity.
ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE! Lucky people tend to see the positive side of ill fortune. If they get a bad break, they cheer themselves up by saying "it could have been worse." When one of Wiseman's extremely lucky subjects broke his leg, he cheerfully explained that it could have been worse - he could have broken his neck.So, in a nutshell, how do you change your luck? Think outside the box, think positive, don't dwell on the past and if you fall off your horse, get right back on it. According to Wiseman, good or ill fortune is not karma, its not a curse and its definitely not magic. It is self-created.
