Round two!

Believe it or not, but I wasn't sore or tired after my 20 mile ride on Saturday, so I decided to go back out on Easter Sunday. This time I was better prepared for the cold. I decided to ride South from SpringValley to the town of Corwin which is slightly over 7 miles. The ride was pretty nice. The path runs along the SpringValley wildlife area. I was surprised there were so many people on Easter. The ride to Corwin wasn't too bad..seemed the wind was always blowing in my face and slowing me down. I was looking forward to a tail wind on the way home! I got to Corwin and took about 30 minutes to walk around and sit on a picnic table in the sun. After enjoying an apple and a bottle of water, I headed for home. So far, I had covered 27 miles with no problems, but on the way home, my butt started to get sore. Guess there isn't as much padding as there used to be. So I got back to the Jeep and kicked back in the sun for a few minutes and decided to make another quick ride to rack up a few more miles. I made it 1.5 miles before turning back. That gave me 17 miles for the day and a grand total of 27 for the weekend. One weekend down and 973 miles to go!
