This morning I was not able to ride until 11:00 a.m., and then, although I took my gloves with me, it was much too warm to wear them, at 56° when I began and 68° when I finished. In fact, I shouldn't have worn a jacket either, but I did, and so worked up a good sweat. I rode a single round trip to Marsh Park, covering the 10 miles in 1:16.
For visibility, I have the flags shows in this video on the back of my trike. People have variously called them spinners, windmills, and other names—my favorite is that of my grandson Danny, who says they look like "tornadoes." A couple of weeks ago, though, one caught on an overhanging branch and tore out and broke, so I had to get replacements. They arrived yesterday (I got red, white, and blue ones rather than the colors I had before), but today, in the breeze, they kept getting caught on each other, so I had to keep stopping and untangling them. This is a real pain in the neck, as it means unclipping my cleated shoes from the pedals each time I get up, and then refastening them when I'm ready to go again. Oh well!
