That’s about 26 miles. Hadn’t ridden since Friday – surprising my legs were a little dead tonight. Not sure why. Good ride though. Tomorrow: Vietnamese class, review class for ComLaw, and our CAN volunteer group will be having dinner and English lessons for Save the Children Vietnam. We had a nice weekend – except Ole [...]

A nice ride tonight – we were going to go at 7 but it rained from about 7 until 8 so we waited until it stopped raining. The best time to ride is after a good rain because it’s much less dusty. I needed the ride tonight because Thao and went out for a big [...]

Rode 34.5km tonight – about 21 miles. A little shorter than our usual ride because we didn’t go over the Phu My bridge tonight – just did three loops around our industrial park. Having a mellow weekend – which will continue through tomorrow as I don’t work Mondays. I worked most of the day yesterday [...]
