Wednesday Bosque Ride with Jacque

Bosque Trail Tracking via GPS and APRS
Jacque and I drove a lot more miles than we rode on the HPV's (Human Powered Vehicles) but we had a good time anyway.  Jacque needed some miles and non-stress experience on her new Catrike so we drove down to the river on the west side of Albuquerque and rode the Bosque Trail, which is fairly flat, easy riding except for some ruts and bumps on the south end where maintenance tends to be infrequent, and the best part:  Almost NO intersections or cross junctions involving cars.  We rode low and very slow, but managed to rack up over 11 miles by the time we got back to the Exploder.
It was another beautiful day, making us wish we had more time to spend cycling and less time being "busy".
We encountered some ducks at Tingley Beach who had gotten outside the fence onto the bike path and were waddling around looking for a hole in the fence to get back out of the pavement.
