An early ride but frustrating ride. Only 17+ miles and one of our worst rides so far. We had to cross a big bridge with a dirty shoulder and lots of traffic. Then went onto the bike path with loose gravel, lots of 90 degree turns, and winding through subdivisions. Not a pleasant ride. We went 8 miles and ended up in a dead end twice. Really frustrating.
We were scouting the route out of town for Friday and glad we did so as to avoid this frustration on a long day. We finally figured out where to go.
When we got home. It was actually cooler outside due to some cloud cover than it was inside so I decided to weed the front beds some more. I did the left side last time and 2/3 of the right side this time. So much more inviting. It still got hot and once the thunder started, I decided I had had enough.
Tonite the other house bikers came for dinner and we had Janice’s fish stew. So good.
Sounds like most of us might ride tomorrow. Leaving at 7:30 to beat the heat.
