Whoopsie

I made my first bicycling post in a very long while on the wrong blog.  Go to My Leftists Commie Liberal Rantings to see it.

First Ride Of 2018

I went for a little ride, quite early on a Sunday morning, down to check on a cache of mine.  It was, of course, still there, in plain sight.  First time I've been able to spot it myself, though, so that was good.

The odometer reading for the start of the year was:  12,831

The trip odometer indicated 3.35 miles for the ride.

Last years total miles was 36, all on the Jamis.  Rather inauspicious.

That is all for now!

A Futile Attempt

It's Sunday, I woke up early (around seven...) and promptly checked my e-mail.  There were TWO new cache notifications, and not too far away!  I got the bike out (Oddly, I had pumped the tires up Friday, for no particular reason.), for the first time since July, and rode over to the GZ, as we say.  Got out the phone, fired up the app, only to find the caches disabled, as the park doesn't officially open until next week.  Big fence all the way around.  Oh, well!

Trip:  2.54 miles
Ride Time: 16:26 minutes
Average Speed: 9.27 mph
Odometer (Ending): 12,831 miles.

Icebergs Dead Ahead, Sir!

I went for a bike ride (On the Jamis) with my cousin on Friday the 30th, down around the Big Bay.  On the way back we stopped here for a big of a rest (My knee was hurting a bit) and I noticed  ICE BERGS across the bay!  I had read about proposals to tow icebergs to San Diego to supply water, but I didn't know they had actually done it!


No, it's just huge piles of salt at the South Bay Salt Works.

We rode 21.51 miles according to the Trip-O-Meter, and the odometer was at 12,828 miles when we ended the ride. The average speed was 10.33 MPH.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for reading!

Out For A Ride

Abel and I drove out to Santee this afternoon to ride the bikes.  We started at the Walker Preserve Trail start in Santee on Magnolia, and headed east to the other end at Channel Road in Lakeside. There were a lot of dog walkers, runners, walkers, a few cyclists, and one elderly lady in a wheelchair being pushed along.  I was surprised to see there is now a PARKING LOT at the Lakeside end!  Did not know that! We turned around there and headed back, and of course it got a bit cooler and started sprinkling a little, off and on.  We found a couple of geocaches on the way back, too.

Odometer START (Est.): 1,273.9

MILES ridden:  6.20

Odometer END: 1,280.1

First Time Out In A Long Time

I rode out to El Cajon find me a geocache or two.  I rode under the take-off path for the airplanes from Gillespie Field, so I tried to include them in the selfies when I could.  Sort of share the glory!



Near the GZ for the first cache, I had to commemorate my ride (and the find!) with yet another selfie.  I don't know why I am smiling, some dud on a very loud motorized bicycle came zooming by a few seconds before this.


And another aircraft goes by!


After finding another cache on Prospect (And not noticing a new one I rode right past!) I headed over to the duck pond to sign the on-line logbooks.  I seem to have managed to not include any of the myriad duckies that were quaking about in this picture!


For documentational porpoises, here are three images of the trip-o-meter.

Today's trip was 16.60 miles.


The odometer reading at the end of the trip was 12,795 miles.  REALLY, I thought I had at least 15,000 on the Jamis!


And the average speed was 9.75 MPH.  Fairly blistering, for me!


That's about all I got here!
