I had two good solid days of riding after a pretty blah Monday. The weather here really has been wonderful climate to hit the road to. I took a rare break Tuesday to have lunch with the family. It was a nice packed trip to Nalbany Qdoba.

Wednesday was a “train” day and by that I mean the locomotive kind. I started off the ride waiting for the gate at Beeler street. It was a malfunction as almost always. I west to 10th street and headed past the very ripe “water” treatment plant toward the river and there was a train crossing the viaduct to head eastbound across the waterfront. A different train was crossing the K & I bridge as I exited New Albany’s park and on. I had a great ride across the Silver Creek Bridge and down toward the junkyard to the river. The last train was down around the Colgate plant – it’s kind of wild how these things run in groups like that. I knocked this ride down in an hour flat – my best so far. And it put me over 400 miles since the inception of the lunch routine.

Thursday had a cool feel to it as I set out. Traffic was quite minimal and that was a great combination. I went out and back to Utica Pike (well, almost to it). I usually refer to this ride as the Howard Steamboat trip. It turns around by Jeff Boat and is pretty straight and flat.

Friday has been the rare day off and chance to take a local customer to lunch. I’m definitely looking to ride this weekend if I can clear my crowded schedule…
