Sunday Morning Ride
Aug. 2nd, 2009 11:36 amTwo thoughts from from this morning's bike ride:
1. Rain, rain, rain. But hey, at least the trail wasn't crowded! Even before it rained, because I'd started at 7:30 (as opposed to 11:30 last weekend), it was a much more pleasant ride with fewer people out.
2. Cyclist warned me that a tree was down on the trail, and boy was he so not kidding! There was a small path next to the fence where others had pushed through, so I was able to get past it, but what a mess. Was right before mile 8.5 on the W&OD, just as you crossed the highway, turned the corner and have (normally) a nice downhill slope to zip down. Quite a surprise there.
Not a bad ride, though. 3 hours, a little over 44 miles. Felt good to get it done.
