Lovely Evening Tandem Ride

Tonight's Tracker Tracking

We decided to ride together on the same tandem Terratrike I ride so much alone, to take the doggies again up to the dog park near Kinney Dam just west of Wyoming and east of Louisiana, and just north of Paseo del Norte.  It's about 3.8 miles using the bikeway route we take.
We got started a bit later than desired:  It was almost 7 PM when we started out.  So it would be a tight run to make it back before dark, which we did not accomplish.  We are equipped with headlamps, blinky tail lights, and reflective clothing and flags, so we got through the 15 minutes of near-darkness OK.
August weather has been very pleasant so far.  In addition to almost daily afternoon showers, we've had cooler days when sunny and even cooler when cloudy.  Tonight was no exception and the weather and temperatures were absolutely beautiful.  This dog-run ride is a very pleasant few miles, with very gradual climbs going out to the park and at least a couple miles of slight down-hill easy-rider coming back.
