Pace Car? 🚙
I felt like a pace car this morning.
When I got on the levee, I saw two ships. One was abreast of my position; the other was perhaps a mile astern. The nearer ship was the Pena; and I’ve been trying to find out where she came from.
Anyway, as I rode, I could see that the Pena was continually about level with me; even though I wasn’t going very fast; I averaged 9.6 mph during the first half of my ride. No wonder I felt like a pace car!
Evidently there are places where the shipping channel is very close to the bank. At one point, the Pena was so close that I almost felt that I could reach out and touch her!
Of course I wanted to see the second ship; and I got the change while I was taking a break.
Second Ship 🚢
The second ship passed while I was taking a break. I hadn’t eaten much before beginning my ride; so it was time for a snack. I chowed down half a Clif Builders Protein bar; and one GU-Gel.
The second ship was the Yasa Begonia. I watched her sail past while I finished my snack; and reapplied sunblock. Then I headed home.
Today my legs felt stronger; and I’m not sure whether they’re really stronger; or whether it was because there was almost no wind this morning.
Whichever it was, I enjoyed the sensation. Even if I’m not a real pace car!

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. 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!
