Free Way 🛣️
I got a free way at last. The barricade across the bike path was gone this morning! As it turns out, they were paving a hitherto dirt-and-gravel access road that leads to a mini-industry on the riverbank.
Today I let my ride go at >11 miles, because my Camel-Bak wasn’t full. I didn’t take lots of water because I expected that barricade to still be there; and didn’t plan for a 20-miler.
I don’t know about riding tomorrow morning. The forecast doesn’t look favorable for outdoor activity; and neither does the next day.
But I’ve got a free way, at least for now. Who knows when there will be another closure!
Quiet in the Tropics 🌀
At least it’s quiet in the tropics for now. I have to remind myself of that when I get aggravated by local T-storms that dump large amounts of rain. Such storms usually pass quickly; a hurricane can mean hours of punishing wind and ferocious downpour.
The thought of a hurricane is when I wish I had a trainer that can hold my hybrid’s rear wheel. I don’t have space in here for an indoor walker, so I don’t intend to get one.
I hope I can do a 20-mile ride soon. I’ve missed those long jaunts for almost two weeks! Let’s hope I continue to have a free way.
