We Both Rode, but Separate Bikes Today

Today's Tracking Worked in Spite of a Power Outage
APRS tracking doesn't work well in the East Mountains unless my home Igate is operational.  We discovered, after we got home from our ride, that the AC  power had been off much of the time we were riding.  Which is just a bit frustrating:  Central NM Electric, our power co-op, has historically been a less than failure-proof operation.  At least once or twice a year we suffer an hour or more of power disruption, seemingly at least an overnight loss of electric power once each year.  We purchased an emergency gas-powered AC generator 13 years ago and have put many hours on it keeping our water and other electrical needs supplied when the power goes off.
This last month, however, has been especially frustrating.  Every other day or so the power has been blinking off, sometimes for over an hour.  Call the CNME office and they will tell you..... NOTHING.  Supposedly they have NO method of recording WHAT the cause of a power outage was.  They do have a Web page that shows  "Current Outages" that merely shows an outline map and a little corner list of the counties served and how many customers are currently without power.... no explanations provided.  BAH.  Today, our power has blinked off at least THREE TIMES.... without explanations.
Initially ignorant of all that, we took off on a ride today.   Jacque just got her Single Seat Catrike back from Two Wheel Drive with new tires and alignment so she was dying to put some miles on it.  I saddled up my ancient home brew recumbent 2-wheeler and rode with her.  She was carrying all the weight:  Tinkerbell and Jazzy.
With the weather so much cooler recently I have to remind myself to slather on the sunscreen anyway.
As usual, it was GREAT to get out in  the open air and rack up a few miles on the legs and wheels.
