June 29th Ride Report

[makbike]

I packed my recumbent this morning and headed south to see my parents. They live in a small subdivision with a large oval street. I rode the circle over and over again this evening. I managed to get 11.9 miles in before it was time to join them for supper. Unfortunately, many of their neighbor chose not to confine their dogs so I spent a lot of time avoiding them. At one point I stopped picked up a handful of rocks and began to pepper them, seemed to work. I hope to ride into town tomorrow, visit the park and boat ramp and make a large circle around the town before heading home.

Just went a tiny bit long on the commute today, for total of 25 miles. Yesterday was 48 including 27 FULL TILT so I took it easy. 1009 for June, YEA!!!! Maybe try to match it in July, but there's no week-long tour and the 5 weekends don't really help me. Maybe I"ll try to make a total of 2000 for both months.
Cruising on the Windsor bike path, a car tooted at me... I'd dropped something off the back (it's a long way back there). It was only the plastic bag that had had my lunch, but it was a sweet gesture and I didn't wnat to litter.
(Other goal: pick up >50 cans from the side of the road, without too many drivers seeing me and thinking I"m pathetic ... they just seem like pennies or something 'cause I can toss 'em into the goat and turn 'em into cash, and clean up a little...)
