Too nice a day to waste

The weather is really nice for this time of year, with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s. I had to go to town and collect the rent, so I decided to ride the bike. It is 15-16 miles up and back, so it was a good run.

Wasted run

Got a short ride into town, but couldn’t get the part I needed. I have a temporary workaround, so I can get to work tomorrow.

Day off

Took one long nap today. I have to go into town tomorrow and get parts for my SUV. Might as well take the bike and get some exercise.

Rest Day

Made the trip back from Iola yesterday and went right to sleep. Resting in my room today. Have to pack tonight. Need to leave early tomorrow to get the rent and go back to work.

Failing midterms

Rode 54 miles from Ottawa to Iola in a time much too embarrasing to mention. Got to do better tomorrow on the return trip, which will be slightly shorter because I went up and back on the initial stretch in Ottawa today.

First serious test

I am in Ottawa, getting ready to bike the Prairie Spirit Trail from Ottawa to Iola. I am leaving tomorrow morning, spending the night in Iola, and returning the next day. I haven’t done 30 plus miles on consecutive days, so this should be a good test for biking the American Discovery Trail as soonContinue reading “First serious test”
