Five Miles of Hard Stuff

Today's Short Predictable Tracking

Jacque challenged me to get ready and go for a TANDEM TRIKE ride this morning instead of waiting till late afternoon when she is more reluctant to ride.  Kewl.
We planned to start by riding to the Post Office, that short, steep, mind-numbing (and butt-numbing) route, then turn east and ride out to Mountain Valley Road and do the loop coming back along Entranosa Road.
However, when we got to the Post Office, Jacque decided we should ride on up the next quarter-mile to the Shell Station for snacks and breaks.   Of course the trike and the pint-size doggies made us several new friends both at the Post Office and the Shell Station, which is always enjoyable. 
Unfortunately, Jacque wound up twisting her bad knee somehow inside the store.  Which now meant she was no longer willing to complete the eastern, longer, leg of the ride. 
Thankfully, much of the eastern return ride to the parked vehicle is downhill, so it put little strain on her.
Anyway, long or short, it's always great to get out and ride.
We're going dancing in Albuquerque tonight, so hopefully the bad knee will behave sufficiently for me to spin her around a few hundred times......
