Another beautiful ride this morning. Cool and cloudy. I saw a road runner - no Wiley.
I rode 10 miles today! It rained last night so the weather was cool this morning with clouds. I saw a bunny. I always shout, "BUNNNEEEEE!" when I see one. Many people were on the bike trail today - bikers, walkers, and dogs.
Nine miles non-stop today! I didn't want to stop so there are no pictures.
No riding today. I’m too sore!
Craycroft Dodge loop. The last two days of rest must have been good for me. I rode 10 miles! Some parts of the Rillito Wash are so lush.
No riding today. It was 87 degrees at 6:00 a.m.! It's supposed to be 106 degrees in Tucson today. Hopefully tomorrow I can get back in the saddle.
No riding today.
Beautiful morning. Stopped at one of Dirk’s favorite stops and watched the sun rise. He was with me in Spirit.
No flats today. YAY! Another "comfortable" ride. Oh well. The tailwind on the ride back is awesome.
I got up early to ride today. Beautiful Tucson morning. When I went to get on my bike I discovered ANOTHER FLAT TIRE! Bummer. However, I have a second bike and was able to complete six miles. It was a "comfortable" ride; i.e. headwinds from the east. Also, the bike is a bit big for me b/c it belonged to my late husband. I'll get the new flat fixed soon.
Well...it was a spectacular start to my ride. I was out about 2 miles when I got a flat tire! I planned to walk to Brandy Fenton Park (a half mile) and call a LYFT. But then I remembered that there was a cafe a little further up the road and I could have a pastry and tea and call from there. I was ensconced at the cafe, enjoying a delicious sparkling citrus Hibiscus Ice Tea when I remembered there is a bike shop there! Well, he fixed my flat and I was able to ride n home. Hooray for Hello Bicycle & Cafe.
Here is a picture from the bridge where I had the flat.
