May 21-22 weekend rides!

[Owlie]

18-19 glorious miles on the bike trail. My computer malfunctioned on my way out from the parking lot, but I know I rode just past one trail access point that is just over an 18-mile round trip away.
I left about half an hour after I wanted to, because I couldn't find the car key. It was cool enough for arm warmers when I left, but it warmed up pretty quickly. It was a beautiful day, and the first nice weekend we've had in a while, so everyone and their dog was on the trail. I couldn't keep myself from grinning, though, because it was my first good long ride since March. Lots of cottonwood fluff on the bridge over the river, a deer crossed my path on my way back to the car. Perfect morning.

Except for one thing: I tend to leave my jersey collars slightly unzipped. When I took my arm warmers off, I spent a bit of time tugging at them because they got caught on the sleeves of my jersey. Apparently this additional stress had to be relieved by the zipper unzipping itself...and I didn't notice until seven miles later. I managed to avoid flashing anyone, as it's only a 1/4-length zipper. It could have been a lot worse.

30 rolling miles with DH and a friend, followed by breakfast sandwiches at a local pizza joint. That was the best breakfast sandwich that I've ever had!
