When I haven’t been watching crazed seditionists screeching about immigrants living high on the dog or feeding less startling dishes of my own to visiting in-laws there’s been plenty of time for the ol’ bikey ridey around The Duck! City this past week.
On Wednesday my geezer brethren and I pedaled south and east through Tijeras and up to the Morning Star Grocery, just past Oak Flat on NM 337.
This annual outing is one of those “your mileage may vary” deals. A couple of us start from home; for me, the ride from El Rancho Pendejo and back is 42 miles with about 2,300 feet of vertical gain. Others drive to the meetup spot, a corporate grocery at Tramway and Central.
Our youngest (59) and oldest (82) riders were a little concerned about completing the entire ride this year. The first was undertrained due to travel and other distractions, while the second confided he felt a little less snappy on the hills lately.
But both soldiered on and finished with honor. Huzzah to one and all.
With the Morning Star ride and a few lesser outings in the rear view I’ll top 150 miles for this week, which is a lot for me. Also, a good excuse to eat everything in the house. Veggie quesadillas, bolognese over egg noodles, pizza, you name it.
Not the cat, though. Not even with homemade pico de gallo.

Seems nobody watches TV any more.
“Violence has no place in America,” she says. Hee and also haw. Meanwhile, in tonight’s NFL action. …
Now the assassins are 0 for 2 in going after “the king”. Just making him more of a hero to his tribe.
Who holds the record for the most attempts? Jerry Ford? I think he had two dingbats after him: “Squeaky” Froome and Sara Jane Moore.
And after the NFL, don’t miss the UFC heavyweight fight at MSQ. Violence = dollars.
Speaking of video, I see this latest nimrod had a GoPro with his AK. Not sure they’ll appreciate the shout-out. They ain’t exactly rocking it in the revenue department.
Yeah, like “Look Ma, no hands. Oops.”
I think we have a lot of really stupid or unhinged people out there. This is getting to be a “me too” event. Shooting at a candidate. Trump seems to be the one that attracts people looking at the competition for “how to get a Secret Service bullet through the brain”.
Four rounds and they didn’t hit the guy. Wonder how far away they were. Maybe they were just trying to scare him off. Where were all the packing florida men? They could have shot this jerk in the back 15 times and got a free dinner and signed maga hat at maralardo.
Good thing it wasn’t a greenskeeper having a wee, with his sand-trap rake poking through the shrubbery mistaken for a rifle barrel. No more terrier tacos for that Wall-hopper.
