160905 Titusville Redux

By -

Wife and I took a ride together today; we rode the Oil Creek trail, which I rode on 8/20/16 . Of course we took it slower - average speed 9 MPH - and when we got to Drake Well Park , we decided to continue via the Queen City Trail into downtown Titusville . We visited the park in Titusville and enjoyed some refreshments while sitting in the gazebo. On our way out of Titusville my wife's pack came loose from her bike; we didn't discover the loss until we reached the Drake Well parking lot, so I got a "sprint" in; I rode back the entire Queen City Trail length into Titusville hunting for the pack. Fortunately I was able to find it, and nothing was missing. Total distance: 28.6 miles Max. speed: 26 MPH Average speed: 9 MPH Total Time: just over 3 hours, but we stopped several times on this trip.

I got up early and did a 25 mile ride today. I remembered to "tank up" on water before I left. My plan today was to try for a little more speed. Unfortunately, I haven't been as regular as I would like with my riding, and I chose to leave before breakfast and I didn't eat anything before the ride, so I ended up "bonking" pretty bad about a quarter mile before I finished; but I did manage to finish. Along the way I saw some amazing scenery, including one stretch of road where both sides of the road were lined with wildflowers - chicory, Queen Anne's Lace, ditch daisies, and clover - that looked like someone had planted them on purpose.   My ride took me through Chapmanville, a small village with ties to my family (my cousin lives there.) - history snippet below. STATS 25.73 miles 2.094  hours Average Speed 11.9 MPH CHAPMANVILLE. This village is situated on the Oil creek road, the shortest route between Meadville ...

170309 Short Ride

By -
I rode five miles to my mechanic's garage to pick up the farm truck today. Not a long ride, but I was dying to get on the bike and the weather, and my schedule, just haven't been cooperating. It was 49 degrees when I took my ride five hours ago; it's 32 and snowing now. Ugh. Got a new headlight and new mirrors - one for my handlebar and one that clips to my helmet. Getting ready!
