If I had to articulate what trial and error has shown to reveal as my unique super power, I would have a hard time choosing between:

• Can operate any foreign plumbing fixture with innate precision.
• Can turn any length car journey into an ALL DAY affair.

We left Dijon yesterday morning at 10:30. It was a less-than four hour trip in the car. The bike was securely perched on top, after a few minute “OH NO WE LEFT THE COFFEE CUP ON THE ROOF” jaunt around the block.

All was good. Until.

The plan was to get to Marseille in the early afternoon for one of two whole open water practices I was going to get. Alas, the “open water” was the kind unleashed from the sky in giant pellets of ice that had cars stopped on the side of the road, cowering under underpasses, and trying to hide from the assault.

Soo… we got to Marseille at 7:00 p.m., approximately the amount of time it would have taken had I rode the bike, instead of sitting under it.

NOW THEN. Let’s go check out that surf, shall we?
