    Default A Sunday Ride

    I went on a roughly 40 mile ride today east of Colorado Springs.

    Mix of paved and dirt roads. Saw some cows. A lot of open fields. A roadside stand (Barry's Fresh Bread) selling some (delicious) homemade bread @ South Peyton Highway/Squirrel Creek Rd.

    Was a lovely hour or so, from ~15mph to ~60mph.

    Here's the pics:

    Toward the end of the ride, I saw Barack and Hillary. At the end of the ride, Hillary gave a speech (took a crap). Unfortunately I did not get it on video. What happened!?

    I guess the intersection has a lot of traffic. The bread was good. I'm now on Keto probation and need to go lift weights and talk trash to myself, because the ranch/italian seasoning bread was amazing.

    Great way to spend the day, glad you had a good ride. Unable to get out on the bike so watched my 3 yr old grandson for most of the day then went to the range. Almost as therapeutic.

    Ride safe.

    Got shut down by rain/sleet twice yesterday. Ended up doing a short ride but the best color for fall.

    I'm jealous. I don't have time to dedicate to long rides and have to make do with my jogs to work and school.

    OP said he went 40 miles. Took about an hour.

    Glad he had a good, safe time.

    I passed a cert exam Saturday, so I decided to put further study on the back burner for a few days. Tomorrow starts studying for the 2nd exam for the higher cert, so I'll be back to not much time between theory and labs.
