If Only I Could Ride Every Day...

Today's repetitive tracking via APRS and Ham Radio

Jazzy and I just did a "mail run" and then a leg 'n loop to the east along Frost Road.   I lost my highest 2 gears for some reason on the recumbent bike... a cursory examination seemed to show the derailleur bracket may have slipped around to a poor position preventing shifting to those gears.  Will look more closely and see if adjustments or repairs can quickly fix it in time for another ride tomorrow.  (I just noticed my average speed is HIGHER than normal, in spite of not being able to get into higher gears, go figure)

But, hey, this may be a new record for me... 8 days straight without missing at least a short ride.
I DID realize that 4:30-ish is a terrible time to be riding a bike along Frost Road.  Hundreds and hundreds of hurrying motorists obviously coming home from Albuquerque, Sandia Labs, etc, etc, made life a lot more annoying than it needed to be.  No incidents, just lots of traffic with few openings to get in and out of the road, cross streets, etc.
