This Week's RV Wanderings
As viewers of the above link can detect, we left New Mexico last Monday on the 14th and came EAST. Quite a ways East. We stopped overnight at the Sams Club in Amarillo, then another night (driveway-surfing) at Ben and Sherry's in Piedmont, then spent a night at the Indigo Sky Casino. Coming through Springfield MO we stopped for a quick late lunch and a couple hours swapping lies with our dear cousins Jerry and Sally Anderson. Using our Freecampsites web link, we found a small gravel parking area at Bear Creek just east of Lebanon MO and spent a really quiet night at that deserted spot.
Then on to Richmond IN where we spent last night and tonight as a launching point to attend the Dayton Hamvention (now relocated to Xenia, OH).
My plan to ride 71 miles for my 71st birthday have thus been ripped sideways out of the NM area and my current scheme is to ride the Little Miami Scenic Trail here in Ohio on Monday..... IF the weather will cooperate. NM is in the depths of a severe drought, and since Amarillo we have encountered more rain than sunshine, especially so here in Ohio. The Hamvention was a muddy mess today with multiple rain showers and threats of thunder and lightning that didn't materialize, but the rain certainly did. Monday has a forecast of rain and more rain, so we'll see if it clears up enough to go for a long bike ride.
I actually got in a precious few miles today along the Creekside Trail in Xenia and really enjoyed pedaling again, in spite of getting almost completely soaked from the scattered showers. I didn't have any of my electronics on this ride from downtown Xenia to the Green County Fairgrounds, so I don't have any data to share about timing, speed, and whatnot. I actually PASSED another cyclist on the ride going out. He was a younger fellow just dawdling along, but I was still amazed I was able to pass him and leave him way behind.
Hopefully Monday will allow me some real riding and pedaling time....
