Still Cranking.....

 Sample August ride (out of 20 days riding)

Sample September Ride (out of 15 days riding) 

Latest October ride (Today - out of 6 riding days so far) 

For some reason, I have gotten really slack at keeping up with this blog.
Laziness would be an accurate reason I suppose, plus I tend to bore myself with repetitive rides, doubting readers' ability to avoid boredom reading them.
In that vein, we miss our RV wanderings which provided plenty of variety in routes and rides.
Since the RV cost us so much money trying to keep its plumbing from freezing, tires from rotting, etc, etc, we finally sold it for peanuts.  We miss traveling in it, but DON'T miss spending $$ on it while unused and sitting idle in the driveway.

But traveling now, rarely, and without the trike(s) on board somewhere, results in boring rides around our local small town.  With few smoothly paved roads, so many roads without wide lanes, aand lacking shoulders, it's rare that I ride anywhere new or weird or different.  Oh Well.
Todaay's ride was typical:  The ride across town to shop at the local Big Box Store.  Jacque needed some pills and I needed some snacks and as usual it was a good excuse to get out and pedal around for some air and blood circulation.
