Real Ride Today!
Real Ride Today! 🚴🏿 I finally got to go for a real ride today! It was wonderful to be on the road bike again; and it was great to see the sun again. I hope this lasts a few days! Unfortunately a real ride today, outdoors, meant contending with headwinds; and that’s not so much fun. It was blowing at 12-15 mph; and gusts were as strong as 25 mph. Naturally, I had the headwind on the way home! Hint of Fall? 🍂 Was this morning a hint of Fall? Last night’s low temperature was about 71 — far cooler than it’s been for several months — and when I stepped outdoors, I wished I had worn arm warmers instead of sun sleeves! Cooler weather means no heat advisories; and I was able to leave the cool rag at home. Before I know it; going for a real ride will mean hand warmers! I surprised myself today by eating less on the bike than usual. Fuel efficiency? Or did I simply eat too much yesterday? Time will tell, I guess. Speaking of time, it looks like this hint of Fall will last a few days. We’re glad of the break from the heat!

Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story. I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
