It was a weekend full of surprises and adventures.

Yikes. Really hoping that Trek will cover this under warranty. I bought my Trek 5000 in 2009, so I am within the 5-year warranty period. The Trek shop in Davis (Freewheeler) is going to submit a claim on my behalf.

Just a little roll on some Davis country roads on Saturday afternoon. A lovely day! Wish I had been up for more.

Saturday ... A little dough experimentation ... Whole Wheat & Rye Piadine Dough with fresh thyme and fennel seeds.

Fennel seeds have lots of health benefits, one of them being they are soothing to the belly. Just enjoy it in small amounts.

Sunday … got a longer ride in, but no photos. Then, home and baked a batch of bread to share as a thank you gift. This is another variation of the Tassajara whole wheat bread recipe I’ve used for years. This one has whole wheat, pumpernickel, millet, rye, and a bit of polenta. It made for wonderful toast this morning!

Sunday ... Whole Wheat, Pumpernickel, Millet, and Oat.

The weather was incredible this weekend for cycling – not too cold, not too warm, not too windy. All in all … if I could do it over again, I would! I’ll just have to wait 5 days. I’m super busy at work … they’ll go fast.

Speaking of going fast … training time for the 2013 Napa Valley Tour de Cure sure is flying by! Just 3 months to go!!! Please support me in this ride – you can make a donation here:  http://tour.diabetes.org/site/TR?pg=pfind&fr_id=6830
