Epic Bicycle Trip

Summary for week ending 7/15/2017. Achieved goal of riding 10 miles every other day for a week, with rides on 7/9, 7/11, 7/13, and 7/15. 7/15 Odometer reading (est. 610 miles [I had to reset the odometer.]) 7/15 goal MET: no lower than 2:2 on my entire 10 mile ride. Next Goal: add a 20 mile ride each week. The wheel ratio on my bike computer got messed up, but I think I have it set correctly now. Will have to do a measured mile somewhere and see how it's reading.

Wife and I rode 10 miles on the Franklin trail. Climbed up onto the Belmar Bridge just to look at the awesome fog.

Tried for more speed, didn't gain a whole lot.

I've settled on a ride (for now) and I'm working on a routine. This morning: 11 miles, average speed 11 MPH, course has some hills so it's just enough challenge to work me, and it's local so I don't have to drive anywhere before I ride. ... and it's beautiful early in the morning!

Got a brief 10 mile ride in this morning. First time on the bike in a while. Rode to the lake and back.

I was just going to do a quick ride before dinner. Ended up riding to Oil City then down the bike trail to Franklin. Part way into the ride the skies parted and a deluge hit. My loving wife picked me up in Franklin as it was getting late and I was soaked. 22 miles, took about 2 hours, great ride.
