This Evening's Tracker Results
Tonight we decided to ride together again to burn a few carbs and additionally strengthen Jacque's newfangled store-bought knee.
We turned out of our street on to Jefferson, as usual, but Lilly was crying her full-bladder cry and Jacque spotted nice grass just across the street from us: Holman's parking lot. This turned out to be a VERY nice roomy area to ride around, with almost no traffic after closing time. We rode around to the back parking lot, still roomy and spacious, and let the girls actually run LOOSE on the huge grass lot in back of Holmans before taking off again. Exploring a bit further, we found a sidewalk EXIT ramp up onto the biker path, obviating the need to "swing wide" crossing 3 lanes of Jefferson to squeeze through the narrow bollards blocking entry to the bike trail from Jefferson.
My ham radio 3-band transceiver still will not transmit with the bike's motorcycle-style harness. As best I can tell, the transmit button's harness has somehow opened up, but the new harness I had for a spare does not cure the problem. I think I can bypass it and make it work with other wiring, but we'll soon see about that. Meanwhile while time is short, riding is more important than radioing.
We then went riding down southward on the North Diversion Channel Trail, only making maybe a mile before we turned around at the Singer crossing. It appears some kind of big project is underway on that bike intersection, with lots of steel and concrete in evidence. It almost looks like they're going to build a ramp for cyclists to go OVER and above motorists below instead of having to wait on them on the same level so much of the time.
