Today we did a repeat of last Friday's tandem ride up and down the Bosque Trail, and it, as always, was just as enjoyable as all the previous times we've ridden it.
We also repeated our favorite side trip east on Mountain ("Bicycle Boulevard") to Old Town.
We couldn't even get the trike more than half a block into Old Town due to the Felipe Festival being set up with its street concessions and carnival attractions. We parked the trike and walked a hundred yards or so to purchase our ice cream treats. This time, as we rode back west on "Bicycle Boulevard", which is plentifully marked with bikeway signs and 18 MPH speed limit signs. The 18 MPH limit is almost universally ignored but this fellow really blew it off, trying to force a car behind us to back off and let HIM roar around us. I'm sorry his license plate doesn't show well in the video; I'd love to send a copy of this to the Albuquerque Police just for the fun of it.
No one was in any real danger here, he was just an irritating nasty-guy with a lead foot.
The weather forecast was for rain showers most of the day, but it never materialized. It was a bit too sunny and hot during a few portions of the ride but the cool breezes off the Rio Grande and the irrigation canals were wonderful for cooling us off as we rode.
