Today's Tracking to the Pyramid Hotel
Friday, 12 August, was the opening day for the 2016 Duke City Hamfest. At first I had not planned on attending until Saturday, but as Friday morning wore on with a distinct lack of emergencies or phone calls of any sort, I decided to saddle up the trike and ride over. After all, it was only a few blocks, so even though the sun was getting warmer it was not a big undertaking.
On the way over I made the mistake of trying to get off the main road and take a route through the parking lots connected with various walking trails. Not only did it slow me down, but the paved and graveled trails gave way to dirt, making the rear wheel slip under cranking torque. A couple places were blocked so tight I had to dismount and "armstrong" the trike around the corners. Coming back was much easier just riding the streets and watching for cars; normal behavior.
I didn't even change out of my white shirt and tie. Not a bad ride and the " bragging rights" are always enjoyable.
