Another Ride in Paradise

Repetitive Tracking via APRS and Ham Radio

Jacque and I replicated our rides from yesterday almost exactly, with slightly different results.
We started riding much later than we prefer, well nigh  to 3 PM which is roughly the start of rush hour for all the lab and government employees who start getting off work early.
Jacque and Tink again went east while I and Lilly rode west for the Post-Office-First run and then honking eastward to catch up with our better halves.
We found the traffic a bit heavy but suffered no problems from it.... Maybe we'll do more later afternoon riding in the future.  Jacque rode much farther and faster today, and I only caught up with her about a mile farther than yesterday.
I also took Lilly with me today in her belly-pack, and she was a fun co-rider.  She always generates lots of looks and smiles wherever she goes, and especially when she's blinking at people while strapped to me like a papoose.  Lots of admirers whenever stopped and many slowdowns as drivers pass and realize there's a DOG watching them roll by.
She whines and complains much less when not crammed into a basket next to Tinkerbell.
There was almost NO wind today, and it  was comfortably warm.  A better riding day would be indeed hard to find.
