Very Short Track Today
Well, not REALLY. I just changed oil and filter and put points, rotor, and condenser in the Ford Tractor and promised to loan it to a dear friend and near neighbor for mowing purposes over the weekend.
I took my recumbent 2-wheeler over to his place, on the bike rack on the back of the Ford Dino-Fuel Burner car and parked the bike in the shade at his place, then drove back to the house and cranked up the tractor and drove it over and rode the bike back home. Jazzy was with me and hates being left alone with a purple spotted passion so I strapped her into my belly pack and she went with me both on the tractor and the return trip on the bike. She didn't like the exhaust noise and vibration of the tractor and got all trembly several times but would calm down if I squeezed her up close to my chest for a few seconds. I have no cargo room on the tractor so I wore my bike helmet while driving it and looked even sillier than normal, but no biggie. I'm very used to looking silly.
Between hooking up the mowing machine on the 3-point hitch, wrestling the tractor down the road (The Power Steering doesn't work well on this old machine), and riding the bike home, I'm a little bushed tonight. Getting old sucks.....

Sundown Ride on the Bosque
Tracking via Ham radio and GPS
Jacque and I did something a bit new to us: We drove into Albuquerque and rode the Bosque Trail as the sun went down.
We could have done a late-afternoon ride out in our home area of the East Mountains, but after about 3:30 PM all roads are like the Indy 500 out here with all the Albuquerque and Sandia Labs and Kirtland Air Force Base commuters rushing home and crowding the roads.
We decided to try the Bosque Trail at such a late hour since - on the northern end, at least - there are no road crossings mixing it up with automobiles. Thus we felt comfortable riding even if it got really dark (we have lights front and rear).
We found this to be perhaps the most pleasant time we've ever ridden this trail. Less traffic, much cooler temperatures, what's not to like?
We didn't go that far, this being a preliminary experiment for this time of day, but we liked it so much we plan to do a much longer ride later in the afternoon or early evening again soon.
At these late hours we were pleasantly surprised that Tingley Beach was still open... at least the waterfront and the restrooms were.
We encountered some visitors from Mexico who decided they needed their pictures taken with the trike and the doggies. They were nice folks and tolerated my fractured Espanol with good humor.

It Wasn't 20 Miles, but Close
My tracking system failed to report but One Position today.
My local Internet Gateway was dysfunctional, but I also need to go double check the antennae (common failure items on the bikes) to make sure they aren't needing soldering iron attention.
I could download the route out of my Garmin 350 GPS but I've never succeeded when I've tried. Oh Well.
Jazzy and I were by ourselves again today, since Jacque and Tinkerbell are helping on a quilt project for the upcoming NM State Fair. So between us we decided to ride east on Frost Road to Mountain Valley, south on Mountain Valley to Crestview Road, east on Crestview to County Line Road, south to Dinkle, then west back to Mountain Valley and a short jog across the overpass covering I-40 and then west on Olde Route 66. We rode that to Sedillo Hill Road. Jazzy forgot to remind me we'd planned to keep going on Route 66 to Zuzax and then cross I-40 there to Gutierrez Canyon Road and north back up to Frost, which would have likely resulted in a bit more than 20 miles on our bike's GPS. So it's HER fault we didn't get our total expected mileage today.
Everything is lined with sunflowers nowadays with all the rain and many are head-high.
The weather was sunny when we started but started to cloud up and cooled off nicely but it was threatening rain. It actually did start to rain but it was at least a couple miles east of us around Edgewood proper and it seemed to be migrating east away from us so we kept going, though I did note open awnings and porch overhangs and such shelter opportunities along the way - Just in Case.
The weather forecast had called for a high of 78 or so but my bike thermometer showed at least 84 so it was a bit warmer... but the days are already getting noticeably shorter and cooler.
Arrived home safe, sound, and dry.... except for the perspiration from pushing the bike by hand up the goat path hills to our house.

Bosque Bliss
Today's Tracking via APRS, GPS, and Ham Radio
Yesterday, Friday, was drizzly and wet until late afternoon, precluding an earlier bike ride. By the time it finally cleared off late in the afternoon we had too much else going on to do anything healthy like taking off on the bike.
Today, Saturday, was a different story, with beautiful blue skies this morning, prompting us to skip breakfast and rush off to Albuquerque with the Tandem Terratrike Recumbent on the roof rack for a ride down New Mexico's favorite bike venue: The Bosque Trail.
We arrived at our favorite parking place at the huge parking lot at the Albuquerque Bio Park and got rolling on the trike almost right on the dot at 10:00.
The weather was just absolutely delightful. The breeze was cool yet it was sunny and warm enough to just be comfortable to the max.
I used to resist the idea of driving such a distance to ride around on the trike but it seems the hills are getting steeper out here in the East Mountains and we always have to ride in or near the traffic, with only a few miles of available bike pathways out here. Plus the Bosque Trail is mostly flat, the scenery riding along the Rio Grande Irrigation ditches is fabulous. The scenery down on the South Valley end with all the warehouses and junkyards is not what you would call beautiful but it IS striking.
At the junction of Rio Bravo and the bosque trail we stopped in the shade for a rest break and met several other recumbent trikes who stopped to say hello and swap lies, er, stories.
The yellow panel sticking up vertically is Jacque's new shade attachment for her and the doggies. When rolling it simply is bent over their heads and fastened forward so it forms a curve roof over their heads. It sometimes acts a bit like a sail in strong winds but at the breathtaking speeds we normally achieve (see average of 5-7 MPH) it is definitely not a problem.
Our last trike destination was Old Town, which is an easy 2-something mile ride along Mountain Road (now co-named 'Bicycle Boulevard' with max 18 MPH limit). We dined at Tio Chava's and had a great taco plate (me) and a chicken salad in a fried tortilla shell for Jacque (who is on the South Beach diet currently and thus I got to eat her fried tortilla shell.... drool drool. By then it was getting late in the afternoon so we saddled up and came home. The doggies had their usual crush of admirers on every hand everywhere we turned....

A-Riding Around Albuquerque
Today's Short Tracking has Great Coverage
Jacque wanted to go into Albuquerque today to put flowers on her parents' graves.
So we decided to load up the heavy Tandem Terratrike and ride somewhere along one of the many bike trails in the Big City.
We decided, since we were in the Northwest part of ABQ, to park the vehicle at Balloon Fiesta Park and ride from there as far as we could with our limited available time. We had to be in Edgewood, cleaned up and presentable, not smelling like overheated cyclists, by 6:30 PM.
We made it, but not with lots of time to spare.
Jacque purchased a shade canopy for her single Catrike about a year ago and has been making noise about adapting it for use on our block-long tandem trike. We stopped at the hardware store for a few clamps; I already had some aluminum tubing for mounting, and we set out to do the adaptation in the Balloon Fiesta Parking Lot before we rode off into the Albuquerque heat. We neglected to take pictures but we'll post some soon. The canopy provides welcome shade for Jacque and the doggies, the most important travelers in the operation, but not for me. Which is probably OK for now.
We only rode around along the bike path parallelling Paseo Del Norte for about 4 miles out and back. It was a hot but enjoyable ride, and the shade of the many trees available along the trail as it nears the Bosque Trail near the Rio Grande was more than welcome.
The shade worked, the trike worked, the tracker worked, we survived, and didn't run out of water. How cool is that?

Terrific Tuesday Travel
Today's Boring Tracking
I needed to get in my quasi-20-something miles on the bike today but was a bit short on time again, as usual. Down at the intersection of Frost Road and Mountain Valley Road, turning left (north) and following the pavement results in a 4-mile loop that is not boring to ride, so I figured I would ride that loop 3 or 4 times, come home, and be ready for a productive day. When we (Jazzy and I) got to Mountain Valley, however, it was under destruction.
I rode through the butchered pavement - barely missing a small steam roller - and found the new pavement I passed over was still smoking hot. So I decided looping several times through that was not an option. I found a smaller paved loop of Juniper and Cedar and Mountain Valley that I traversed a few times just to add some time and mileage to the ride. We finally exited the loop, enjoying meeting some new dogs and neighborhood oddities, and rode over to our friend's house for a quick visit. Very enjoyable family, with 7 kiddos, all of whom we count as friends. Here are a couple of them helping me tend to Jazzy while we visited:
As I was getting ready to leave this fun bunch and ride on homeward, I saw a different cloud arrangement in the sky:
These clouds look as though they are screaming at high speed across the sky, yet they were just hanging there, with the strange streamers.
We were still a bit short on miles when we got to our goat-path turnoff, so Jazzy and I rode on up to the Post Office and then the Ice Cream Sandwich Store, commonly known as the Shell Station.
Then we came home, and now I must get busy to justify my existence.

We'll Be Comin' Round South Mountain When We Come
Today's Pretty-Good Tracking
I determined to start the week out right, for once, and saddled up the bike for a ride. Jacque had previously scheduled sewing engagement and did not ride with me but told me she was going to leave "one" of our doggies at home to reduce her confusion level at her sewing klatch. Which meant Jazzie, our noisy hyper-active Yappy Pappy. I told her I'd take the little miscreant with me on my bike ride.
She is a fun companion even if she does get a bit out of bounds occasionally. I carry her in our little papoose-style belly pack, which makes for a bit more warmth on a sunny day like today, but it calms her down and keeps her from whining and yapping as we ride along.
I'm currently striving for 20-something mile rides to help lower my A1C readings and calm my endocrinologist down, but like most riders I would love to be able to do different rides to keep the boredom factor down. I've been to Beautiful Downtown Edgewood (That's a Joke, Son) several times recently, so today I thought maybe I'd just ride Frost Road all the way to the intersection at 344 just north of Edgewood, whereupon it turns abruptly into State Road 472 the rest of its length into downtown Stanley, NM (Another New Mexico Joke).
As we neared this intersection on this very lovely morning, I noticed the prominence of South Mountain off to our left and recalled I had not taken THAT route in almost a year or so.
I didn't remember the mileage exactly but knew it would exceed 20 miles handily. For many miles there is no shoulder and the pavement is not smooth much of the way but the motorized traffic is sparse. So I turned north on 344 at Cedar Grove and took the loop around South Mountain. Going the direction WE rode today is a much easier proposition than riding it the OTHER direction: Just up 344 from North-14 at Golden is a 15% grade hill that is a strain on a motorized vehicle and bloody murder on a bike, aptly earning the name "Heartbreak Hill". Going the difficult direction involves me dismounting the bike after about the first quarter mile and walking it the next couple miles uphill. I just plain don't have the legs for it, though the hardcore riders in the area all despise it, many make it all the way without having to get off and push, unlike Yours Truly.
Thus the easy direction I took today: Gradual hills up to the top of Heartbreak Hill, then SMOKIN' downhill curves all the way down to 344 just south of Golden. You may note my max speed today was 43+ MPH, and that would have been exceeded had I not ridden the brakes part-way down. Much faster than I'm used to OR comfortable with. When I was younger and bulletproof it would have been fun to let'er rip all the way down to see how fast the machine could achieve without my help (My max pedaling speed is between 20 and 24 MPH). Now that I'm old and wishing to get older and all too aware of the limitations of my frame, brakes, tires, and lack of smoothness of the pavement.... I use the brakes. Sorry.
Jazzy did herself proud today. She did not bark, yap, or whine at all today, and mostly laid her head on my arm trying to relax while we rode:
All in all a very satisfactory riding companion. We stopped several times for shade, pee, food, and water breaks. Each time she happily took the leash, poked around, drank offered water out of my cupped hand, and generally made herself lovable.
