TOTAL MILEAGE FOR 2016 - 2312.8
This morning I rode consecutive round trips to Marsh Park in absolutely glorious conditions. When I began, at 9:00, the sky was cloudless and 60°—by the time I finished, it was up to 71° and only a very few clouds had moved in. I was happy to see my friend Doris Granum a couple of times, and when she asked me, a bit past 10:00, what round I was on, I felt sheepish about my late start and the ability to hold up only two fingers. I covered the 18 miles in 2:05, and this ride pushed me over 2300 miles for the year.
Despite the weather, though, my heart was somewhat heavy because of an incident yesterday. After my early ride (6:00-9:00) I put the trike away and drove to Meijer. But just starting out, at a curve in Lohr Rd., I got distracted for a moment (don't even know from what) and took my eyes off the road momentarily. This allowed my right front wheel to run up on the curb, and I fishtailed (fortunately there was no other traffic within sight at that hour on Sunday morning) and ended up lightly clipping a road sign. I thought no damage had occurred, but when I got to Meijer I discovered that it had caught the trike rack and ripped it off. When I went back, someone had already removed it. So, for now I'm rack-less.
