Short Cruises

Saturday's trips, very local and short

Jacque is getting to the point that she gets me out and on the trike more than I do.
Today she "wondered" if we could ride our trikes the few short blocks to the "Square' and visit the Saturday's Farmers Market.  How could anyone refuse such an idea??
That ride was enjoyable and short.
The trikes stayed in the yard the rest of the day, with me thinking I would go for a longer ride later sometime in the day.
Naturally, I got distracted and forgot all about a long ride.
Jacque, however, suggested an early evening trike ride since the daylight lasts so long nowadays.
She had heard some loud voices and music coming from somewhere in the near neighborhood, so we rode toward the noise expecting to find a campout, yard party, or RV gathering.
The ruckus turned out to be coming from the baseball park, several blocks distant.
We passed a huge , dead, armadillo - lying in the gutter. I wanted to post a picture of the spectacle but it's probably better that I failed to do so.
When we realized the source of the noise, we turned back and took a turn around our favorite city square again, where there WAS a gathering looking like a group barbecue, but a quiet one with no music or loud noises.
Such rides are indeed short but sweet, proving a little stretching and exercise, as well as the "cyclist high" that results while pedaling around with the breeze in your face....
