I got 9.5 hours sleep and could have slept for longer, but had a long list of chores including washing, shopping, bike maintenance and much other stuff.  It was nice wandering around the busy town in the very warm sunshine ticking off my chores. It will be hard getting back on the bike tomorrow.  However, I feel like it is a fresh start and think I have a reasonable chance of staying on my now-51 day schedule without struggling every day, which seems to have been the way so far.  Always playing catch-up and just hanging on.  If I’m going well in the last two weeks, there will be some opportunity to gain some time.  Of course, I now have less buffer if any significant problems arise with bike or body.
