Ride East, Young Man

Short Ride but Great APRS Tracking
Or, Ride East, Old Fart - in my case.
Wow, talk about long term commitment.... We've now done TWO WHOLE DAYS in a row of our daily riding commitment.   We don't plan to ride on Sundays except in the rare case we think we can get to Church un-sweaty enough for fellow worshipers to stand us.
We decided to ride a ways east today since it is flatter, though no nearby gas stations or other stores from which to purchase ice cold fizzy soda pop.  Or ice cream bars.
It was a nice ride, in spite of being a warm sunny day.  We got going early, about 8:30 AM, so we avoided the certain-to-be-worse heat later in the day.  When we turned around at Mountain Valley Road, we were pleasantly surprised to find a mild, cool, headwind to cool us off as we rode the more-downhill return trip.  The breeze had been blowing just gently enough behind us on the way east that it provided no heat relief until we reversed course.
Jacque exclaims with pleasure about how great her trick knee feels after a ride.  Evidently it provides enough exercise to limber it up and strengthen it without the stress and pounding from walking or running.
