The day was bright and sunny earlier this morning, but the weather forecasts called for clouds and showers later on.
Thus Jacque and I decided to get out and ride early, even though it was a bit cool outside, and take advantage of the sunshine while it lasted.
Trouble is, by the time we got saddled up and rolling, the clouds had already covered up the sky. We took off anyway, hoping our huffing and puffing would warm us sufficiently.
It didn't. We chugged along for about a mile and the temperature only continued to punch right through our layers. When Lilly began to quiver and shiver, in spite of her wrap and being bound up inside the belly-pack, we decided to end the ride early and turn around.
The road traffic was a bit heavier than usual, and when we felt the ground vibrating from something approaching from the rear, we hoped he would give us plenty of clearance, and thankfully he did.
When we got back to the Exploder, I realized my cell phone had disappeared from my side pants-pocket and was nowhere to be found. We looked around the immediate vicinity, hoping it had not fallen far away, but still no luck. So, we loaded the trike back into the trailer and retraced the ride route slowly, hoping to find the phone still in one piece, instead of out in the roadway. Good fortune favored us, and about a quarter mile down the road we spotted a flash on the shoulder of the road, and when Jacque got out and walked back to it, sure enough it was my phone, still intact.
The ride certainly wasn't long enough to burn off any real calories. My ending BG was higher than before we started. BAH
