Started out just riding from Tioga to where the side walk ends travelling west on Newberry Road (3 1/2 miles). On the way home stopped at the Chinese restaurant at Steeplechase for some wonderful lunch of Egg Foo Young and Broccoli and Tofu. Dropped by the bicycle shop to have my gears adjusted. Came home and we wanted to ride some more.
So we decided to ride to Haile Plantation. Rode through Tioga and another neighborhood to come out on Parker Road, heading south to 8th Avenue and rode on the bike lane there to 91st St. It was hilly compared to Rails Trails. Then we took that into Haile Plantation. Rode to 46th Drive and then through the Town Center where we stopped for some juice at the Cupcake bar. Came back west on 24th Avenue. There is a sidewalk until about 3/4 mile from Parker Road where there is not even a bike lane. 24th is flatter than 8th Avenue was. Had to walk the bikes some when traffic got heavy. It was 6 1/2 miles on this leg of the trip.
When we started the trips today it was cloudy, breezy and a chilly 61 degrees. By the end of the trip, the clouds had gone, the sun was out and it was in the high sixties.
Today 20 miles total.
497.5 miles thus far.
