Saturday, August 7 rides

As for my Saturday ride, it was 35 miles and ended at an upscale grocery store w/ a bakery and we shared a beautiful fruit tart at the end.

Yum! AJ's? That's the first/only upscale grocery store that pops into my mind in Tucson...

Anyway, I went for about 30 miles yesterday afternoon on a path here in Omaha. It was very sunny and the headwinds were slightly demoralizing. I was looking forward to the tailwinds when I turned around and headed back, but of course the wind shifted. But I'm getting more and more comfortable cruising faster on my Jamis. It was so nice to be able to get down in the drops and cut through that wind... I would have been parasailing on my Trek.

I spotted this cool metal artwork/memorial bench along the trail, too, and snapped a picture with my phone. "friend, athlete, role model, jokester" and then "In memory of Harry Jenkins Jr MD." If he was all that, I bet the world is a better place for this Dr. Jenkins having been in it!
