Bicycling Training Journal: A Daily Dose of Motivation, Training Tips & Bicycling Wisdom for Every Kind of Cyclist--From Fitness Riders to Competitive Racers by Bicycling Magazine
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I gave this a try as an experiment to see if the ritual of logging each nearly daily ride would do something for me. Other than being able to easily see values like 52 weeks running that I can't do on my free tier of Strava, I don't see any point in this age for me to journal my rides. I did enjoy the practical advice, quotes (several from H.G. Wells), and general vibe encouragement. Among the helpful appendices is a lot of maintenance direction that I would like to grok some day and something that could be used for a repair history, which I wish I kept during the year. I also wish there was something to fill out that produced some graph or visual display.

Review: The Chesapeake: Tidewater Sagas A Collection of Short Stories from the Chesapeake, Book 6

The Chesapeake: Tidewater Sagas A Collection of Short Stories from the Chesapeake, Book 6 by Ken Rossignol
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Narrator Paul J. McSorley delivers these stories in a Tom Bodett which is very fitting to these recollections of pirates and presidential excursion reaching back to before WW II. There is a lot about small time crime, shady politicians alongside fishing and boating yarns largely set in the tri-county area around the Bay. It is a varied and enjoyable read seasoned with a traditionalist and romanticized view of the past with respect for common courtesy, responsible boating ... and flying the Confederate flag (at least one day per year).
