The Story

Hi there.

It has been a while...Aug. 22nd to be exact.

Because of a lot of rain, some scheduling conflicts, being out of town and a tweak of a back issue I just didn't manage to find the time to ride for a while.

Perhaps I was somewhat inspired by the performance of Aaron Rodgers in the Sunday night opener, and that helped get me back in the saddle today.

When off the bike for that long I hate that foreign feeling when you get back on. But luckily it turns out that riding a bike is just like riding a bike....it comes back to you rather quickly.

It was only 25 miles today averaging in the 14's, but man, it felt like a lot more.

Base miles.

Hope to get a few more rides in this week.

As I was returning I rode into some sort of police situation unfolding in Neenah. Several squads with lights on were parking, and an officer went running past me on a bridge from the other direction. This was near where there was a shooting a few years back at a motorcycle shop, so I picked up the pace to get the heck outta there....just in case.
