(no subject)
I rode alone tonight, as Tam was too busy to ride with me. I wanted to ride down to the river and check out the canal path, so I headed that way. It's mostly downhill from our house to the river, but there were enough uphill sections that I was pretty tired when I got just most of the way to the river. Fearing I would get to the bottom and not have the energy to get back up, I opted to turn instead and make a very long "around the block" run past our old apartment.
A bit of trivia: When I mapped my ride out on Google Earth, I apparently tagged 3 different township centers as displayed, and I only missed a fourth one (the one I live in, actually) by ~300 yds.
This ride ended up being 7.5 miles. Still not enough to get me to work, and I was pretty beat when I got back, but I think my ride to work is a little more flat than my neighborhood, save for one killer hill. I'm still hoping to start riding to work sometime next week. We shall see.
