Today was absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful blue skies with just a few passing clouds with just a slight wind. It took me a little longer to do my 21 mile route because I kept seeing people that I knew that wanted to talk. I enjoyed my visits with everyone.
I recently changed the bar tape on my bike. The bike came with white tape but it soon turned gray with all the dirt and and chain oil from changing flats. I decided that I didn’t want white so I went with red. The jury is still out on whether or not I like it.
I’ve got a new goal, well sort of. My son will graduate from college in December of this year. I’d like to see myself at least 25 pounds lighter than I am right now. More if possible. That’s a lot of riding and treadmill time but I think I can do it.

1218, 365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Chattanooga, Norfolk Western, Steam Locomotive, Virginia Museum of Transportation
As stated in an earlier post, I love steam powered locomotives. The one pictured here is the 1218. Built in 1943, it was one of the strongest pulling machines ever built in the world. I had a chance to to ride in a car pulled by her about 22 years ago. We went from Birmingham to Chattanooga and back again. Norfolk & Western decided in 1992 to discontinue the excursions and have her scrapped, but the public had other plans. She was restored to her original specs and placed on display at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke Virginia. I hope one of these days to travel to Roanoke to visit this beautiful beast again.
