It was a great day here to be outside. I mowed my lawns and then went riding. I rode my 21 mile loop and then rode around in the North end of town. I rode the cart paths of the local country club. It's marked private and I shouldn't be on it. It's a darn shame for it is a very scenic concrete path wide enough for golf carts. In and round the trees and ponds and down one fairway and the next. It's really pretty this time of year. I logged 36 fun miles today.

I'd hope that if you are respectful, they turn the other cheek.

I understand the liability they have for bikers and pedestrians on the cart paths of their private golf course.. There were no golfers on the course late afternoon however. I would ride it often if it were legal to ride. Others would use the paths as well. I can see that it could or would be a problem. I'll ride it again this fall when the leaves turn. It's not only a pretty ride, it has some cool bridges, and the path winds around making it fun to travel.

After my visit with the kidney specialist I came home and went for a ride. It was way too nice not to get on the bike... no matter my health. I met a couple of other riders out enjoying the day. I rode my 21 miles and put my bike back in the shed.

Now that's what I'm talking about, OB back in action,

I got caught up with my mowing this afternoon. Getting a week behind is a killer. It was nice this afternoon with a slight wind from the North. I decided that I should get in a ride. I rode my 21 mile loop and loved it. My Bose were broke so I had the left track only which was a downer. Other than that, it sure felt great to be riding. I saw a number of cyclists when I was mowing but saw none when I was riding.

I did a bit of shopping this morning and then worked in a ride before my ultrasound appointment. I rode my normal 21 miles and it was a nice enough day that I wasn't the only person riding. As the weather improves, I hope to see more people out walking and riding.

I mowed my cabin property today. It was in bad shape so it took a while. A friend and his wife came down and he did a bit of weed eating wile I mowed. It was nice so we sat on the deck when the work was done and had a few refreshing brews. I came home, did my home chores, and went for a ride. I rode my same ol loop. It was a great afternoon to be out. I fixed dinner and ate. It was just beautiful ut so I went for another ride. I logged 43 miles today. Mid 80's and zero wind was just too nice to ignore. That and rain is in the forecast for the next few days.

I didn't get to ride yesterday but got the bike out this afternoon. It was cloudy with the wind gusting out of the North. It wasn't ideal riding weather but it was good enough. I didn't see anyone out riding but me. I rode my 21 miles and called it a day.

It was dry this morning so I started mowing early. I was done working mid afternoon and went riding. It was so nice I couldn't bring myself to stop riding. I was on the second half of my battery and rode the last mile home without any assist. I grabbed dinner and ate entirely too much. It was still beautiful out so I used the old battery, which was also on the bottom half of it's charge, and went riding again. The same exact deal occurred, I ran that battery dry as well. I logged 50 miles between the two rides of sheer enjoyment. I didn't see very many people out this afternoon but there were a lot of people out enjoying this evening. I met and passed a number of cyclists and a lot of people walking dogs and pushing baby carriages. It was the perfect evening to be out.

Instead of riding yesterday, I played a round of golf with my son. I made up for skipping a day by riding twice today. I rode after I got my lawns mowed and again after dinner. It was absolutely perfect riding weather this afternoon. Mid to upper seventies with zero wind. Zero wind in Kansas is rarity and demands enjoying it if it should ever happen. I did see a couple of riders out this evening. I was surprised that I didn't see more people out enjoying the day. I rode 42 miles today and loved it!

I went riding after I got my chores done this afternoon. I knew I was going to watch baseball tonight so I did all of my riding early. I started out by giving the bike a quick wash and oil job. It was time for both. It was a beautiful afternoon with the temps in the low eighties and very slight Southern breeze. I rode 51 miles before I put the bike up. I did see a couple of other serious riders out this afternoon. It was a great day to be riding.

I did my chores early and got in a quick ride before going down to the cabin and spending the afternoon visiting another couple. I went for another ride when I got back home. I logged 43 miles today. This morning I passed and met a few riders the first time around to the town South and back. The second time around I passed four or five riders and then caught up with a group of at least twenty middle to senior age ladies all riding as a group. I passed the stragglers then I caught up with the group. They were waiting for the stragglers to catch up before riding more. I eased around them and went on my merry way. It was really cool to see what had to be a riding club of sorts out riding and enjoying near perfect weather. I only saw a couple of riders on my late afternoon ride.
