I'm headed for France this week! I depart Thursday for a two-week bicycle tour in the Pyrenees, followed by a week in Paris. You can view the bike tour itinerary here. I've been frustrated with minor injuries and illness all spring, leaving me concerned that such an imposing schedule is more than I'm ready for. I'm sure the second week will be better than the first as I ride into shape!

CDs listened to today:

• David Maslanka: A Child's Garden of Dreams
• Johann Sebastian Bach: The Art Of The Fugue
• Beck: Sea Change
