Hot Wednesday Mail Run

Short Ride but Good APRS Tracking

I've only been on the bike once since I got home from Ohio:  Friday 25 May APRS Track 
Jacque and I decided to ride together for a short hot 2.5 mile ride to the usual Post Office to stretch our legs and keep them limbered up.  It was great riding except for the rocky dusty mile of unpaved road from Frost Road to our house.
This was the first time Jacque tried riding her new Catrike on our non-optimal road, and we're likely to not try it again.  It was too rugged and hard on the trike as well as Jacque.  But the fun riding on the better pavement ws worth it.
Unfortunately, while parked at the Post Office, the gusty wind knocked my bike down, snapping the headlamp off the helmet hanging on the handlebars and breaking the upper insulator on one of my J Pole antennas.  Thank goodness for JB Weld Epoxy .....
