Friday Date on the Bikes

Jacque's Tracking of our Downtown Path
Just after noon yesterday, Jacque and I decided to go "to Town" (Albuquerque) and do a bike ride, in spite of the heat (around 96 degrees at peak).  It was a great ride, especially as long as we kept moving.  Sitting at intersections waiting for the lights wasn't pleasant with the lack of breeze.  Jacque had ridden this area a week or so ago and wanted to show me the area too from the cycling viewpoint.
It turned into an afternoon date.  By the time we got back to the SUV and racked up the bikes, we went to  Sonic for some (Yum) Ice Cream, then decided to go do a movie.  We took Tinkerbell to the dog park and then went to Cottonwood Mall to see For Greater Glory , which is a pretty good movie, in spite of telling a one-sided story favorable only to Catholics about the Cristero rebellion in Mexico in the 1920's.   Catholics weren't the only people persecuted during this time period:  Mormons, Jews, and others all suffered from the upheavals during and after the Mexican Revolution.  Still, a good movie.  We highly recommend it.
