A light week

It's been a light week for riding because it's been a busy week for the rest of life. I was in Anaheim, California for a conference for 8 days. Mary came in for the second half of my stay. Being away from home for that long meant we couldn't get a ride in on our road bikes, although we did ride about 5 miles on beach cruisers in Huntington Beach. It was fun but very crowded.

Part of our crew riding through Cannonsburg on Sunday.

We got back late Thursday night so on Saturday I went out for a quick 15 mile ride on the White Pine Trail, just to see if I remembered how to ride. We also had a team ride planned for Sunday and I wanted to loosen up the muscles a bit.

Sunday's team ride was 31 very hilly miles north of Ada and west of Rockford. Our route started out by heading north on Honey Creek. Those who ride in this area know that's one of the hilliest roads around. After that we had several more hills as we made our way north toward Wabasis Lake. We came back past Gavin Lake and south on Parnell. Afterwards we had a pool party at our hosts the Taylors. They keep the pool very warm and it felt great after the ride.

So I got in 46 miles in two days or 10 days, depending on when you start counting.
