Well, we started the New Year right this time. We put aside all our "useful and necessary" projects and drove to Albuquerque to ride the beloved Bosque Trail.
First, I had to drag the heavy Tandem Terratrike out from its hidey-hole and add air to all 3 tires..... and then hump it to the roof rack on top of the Explorer.
It was cold and windy here in the East Mountains, as was it also in ABQ, but it was at least 10 degrees warmer down along the Rio Grande. Which still did not translate to balmy weather although it was beautifully sunny. We didn't remove any layers and I never got overheated, though I did have to unzip the top outer shirt trying to stay cool enough to avoid sweating and the resultant cold from the breeze uncontrollably cooling unwned stinky moisture.
For the first half of the ride northbound toward Paseo del Norte, I had recurring low blood glucose problems. I consumed 2 breakfast oatmeal bars and 4 hombrew Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies and never saw my glucose readings rise over 69. Which meant I felt a bit spacey most of the time. Admittedly, most of the time I cannot foist the blame of my fuzzy mind on my blood glucose.
We wound up going farther than I thought we would when we started.... we are still out of shape so are not trying to do marathon runs yet.
Doggies Tink and Jazzy again contributed smiles and giggles of praise and adulation in spite of their semi constant snarling at each other, barking wildly at passing dogs and walkers and horses and whatever, and of course when everything else was quiet, Jazzy loves to whine and cry as we roll along because no one is cuddling or holding her.
