Friday Afternoon Tracking Map
Well, Steve and Jessica and Tyler and Katrien left our house for the next leg of their vacation trip Friday morning, and though it was nice to have a bit of peace and quiet, it suddenly seemed TOO quiet.
We had announced the kids could just stay with us while their parents traveled onward, but I couldn't whip Steve and was afraid to even try outfighting Jessica for her kiddos.
So we did what any set of empty-nest grandparents would do: We loaded up the bikes and went to the Bosque Trail for a leisurely ride. We parked at the Bio Park and first rode south on the trail to Tingley Beach to use their "Facilities" and then rode back north and decided to take a detour we've not ridden except during group rides with Paul and Kay's recumbent enthusiasts. We rode over to Old Town Plaza which is maybe a mile from the Bosque Trail and were pleasantly surprised to find a bluegrass band "The Squash Blossom Boys" performing on the plaza bandstand. They had a rather lovely lady pounding away on the stand-up bass in the back, so don't let their name fool anyone. Great toe-tapping music, and Jacque and I two-stepped to a couple of tunes. They are part of the New Mexico Centennial celebration, and it was free. Kewl. Maybe we will get more adventurous in the future and try some more less-travelled areas.
