67th ride of 2016 - Friday, 5/6/2016

Another good ride today, of 3 round trips to Marsh Park (for the third day in a row). I completed the 26 miles in 2:56. When I began, at 8 a.m., it was 45° (and sunny), and by the end it had warmed up to 63°.

The notable aspect of today's ride is that, just west of the park, a north-south railroad track crosses the trail, and in the 500+ times I've ridden it, I've never seen a train on it. But today, during my first round trip, as I neared State Rd., I could hear a train's whistle, and then after I crossed State and as I started down the hill toward the park, I could see a long freight train crossing the trail ahead of me. But it had cleared by the time I got down there.
