I did my last ride to the Bedford farmer's market for the summer (17.2 miles). It runs through October, but I will be flat out on Mondays starting next week. I won't be home until close to 10 PM.
It was actually quite brisk here this morning. We did a walking meditation outside in my yoga/meditation class, and the sun had gone behind some clouds and it was breezy. I left for the market around 1:30, so it was about 65 and still a little overcast. Wore my Terry scooters for the first time since last spring. I know I had complained that they were too big, so I bit the bullet and had them taken in, so now they are perfect.
I usually love riding my Jamis, but everything hurt today and I could barely get over 12 mph on the flats. My knees don't like the spd pedals I have on this bike, and I think the right one is a little cranky from a lot of big gear riding on my road bike last week. It was windy, too. Anyway, I bought some peaches and 2 scones. One of the bakeries that has a booth there has the most delicious whole wheat cranberry scones!
The ride back was a little less painful, but my fibro. is acting up, so I should rest ((but I won't because it's gorgeous out and it's my last week of vacation). When I got home, I ate about a quarter of my scone, which went a long way in making me feel better. I just raised my seat on the Jamis, to see if that will help my back and knees. Even though it's set where it should be, it just feels low.
