Biking to Relax?

Today's Truncated Tracking

(My tracking has been unimpressive lately.  I need to check out my radios and antennas.)

We finished moving the major stuff for our neighbor moving to a retirement center yesterday.  Jacque is there again today sorting and organizing for a big moving sale.  Me?  I played hooky and stayed home and went on a ten-mile ride on the Catrike to stretch my legs.  This in spite of my legs and back and multiple joints being stiff and sore from all the bending and twisting and lifting and carrying stuff around.
The legs exhibited definite soreness and stiffness from the moving efforts, but it felt good to do the bike-thing and stretch them out pedaling down the road  and around the area.  I was feeling pretty sluggish and tired prior to the bike ride and now am feeling more energized now that I'm starting to cool off a bit.
Weather was sunny and windy today, and I again confess: Even with rather stiff winds from any direction, it is a welcome cooling factor.

We have had only minor sprinkles of rain recently, and I noticed the dryness of the dirt/rock/goat-path road (last mile to our house) is now even more loose, and it was difficult climbing the hills to the house without having to engage "3-wheel drive" (both hands grabbing and pulling the front wheels forward, while pedaling madly to keep the rear wheel spinning) to keep going uphill to make it to the house.  NM Monsoon season officially begins in another day or so, and hopefully Heavenly Father will honor the season  by allowing us some real moisture.
