Ride Report 10/6

Solo 24 miles Riverside Blvd past Garcia Bend Park & back

I refilled my prescription allergy meds and have been snorting away for a couple days, so I can breathe relatively well today. As usual, I drool over the houses by the river and even eye an apartment complex I've been considering as a possible candidate for my next move. Weather is beautiful, as always.

Ride Report 10/2

Solo 24 miles Riverside Dr south & back

I'm mostly over my cold, but I get short of breath riding, so I head out to enjoy the sun and see how far I can go on my bike today. I feel a little dizzy and my nose is running merrily, but the weather is nice and I'm on my bike.

Ride Report 9/22

Solo 25.6 miles Riverside Blvd past Garcia Bend Park & back

Just an exploratory ride today. Riverside Blvd is one of the north-south streets with a good bike lane, so I decide to take it as far south as I feel like and then turn around. I first go to the bike trail south of the Sacramento Marina. I'm playing with fire here and the gods strike me down with a front flat in return. I have learned my lesson about biking that path. Never again! This is flat #4 on the Gatorskins. On a random side note, I recognize a cyclist from the Folsom Cyclebration criteriums who asks if I need help.

The houses south of Florin Rd are big and pretty and make for some nice daydreaming. I follow a bike path on the levee south of Garcia Bend Park, but it is blocked after a couple of miles due to construction. I amuse myself by passing judgment on the houses that back the levee and choose one or two I wouldn't mind owning. Who am I kidding--I'd take any of them!
