In the last two weeks I lucked into an unexpected desert race, discovered it was way further away than I thought, decided to go anyway, got stranded in a blizzard on the way to said race, ran the thing, placed shockingly well, drove home again, and am now attempting to fall back into old routines. It’s been a wild go of it.
Absolute banana cakes.
