Spring has sprung
Three pairs of tights and NO sweatpants! On my previous ride, I got a marvelous idea: if I wear my mask over my chin instead of letting it dangle on my chest, it's out of the way, it's easy to pull it up when it's needed, AND I can skip the band-aid on my pink scar. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at centurylink dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |

And I used the Heritage Trail going and coming. I *have* had my shots, but I still want to mask up when close to people. On the way out, the Trail is a shortcut to Roy Street. I didn't mean to use it coming back, but the light was red, so I swung over onto the sidewalk at a convenient driveway. The Trail on that side of town runs along the lake, so there are no intersections. I had to re-tie the mask a few times; it tended to work loose and fail to protect the chin. 17.7 miles is nearly twice my previous trip, and I didn't get tired (except for not being able to sleep at nap time; I got down when it was time to get up.), so I can do the twenty-mile ride to Leesburg the next time there is something good at Duck, Down, and Above. A promising start to summer training -- just like last year about this time. I'm pretty sure I won't have to lay off all exercise for a month and a half while a skin graft heals. But my check-up is in May; if I flunk, it will be perfectly timed to prevent me from doing the Tour d' Lakes in July. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at centurylink dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
