Today's Ride Tracked via GPS and Ham Radio (APRS)
I've been struggling, what with our busy full time volunteer jobs, when and how to schedule a (preferably) daily bike ride again.
We stay in the RV at work during the week and don't commute by car, so I can't just have Jacque drop me and the bike off a few miles from work and let me ride the rest of the way like I used to a couple years ago, before I got involuntarily retired.
I actually also rode my upright beater-bike over to the Doctor's office yesterday, so I can (coff) brag about riding somewhere 2 days in a row. Trouble is, yesterday was only like a mile each way, not enough to even register on the exercise scale. I must confess my legs, long out of shape again, complained anyway.
Today I saddled up the Terratrike Tandem Recumbent and was determined to go out at least 5 miles and come back, making an actual 10-miler. And, even though I did the full ten miles, my legs found the pedaling much easier on the recumbent than on the old Diamond Back upright.
It got almost totally dark by the time I got back, so in future I need to leave early enough to both get in a decent few miles AND get back before dark.
