I made a bee line straight home this evening, ate supper, changed into my cycle shorts and dry fit tee shirt and jumped on my bicycle. I was able to get nearly 15 miles in tonight. It was dark when I got home but with the help of m flashing of the rear light and my headlight I was able to make it home with no problem.

With rain on Sunday, errands on Monday and a meeting late this afternoon I just haven’t had time to get back on my bicycle. I was able to get on my treadmill for about thirty minutes this evening. Tomorrow looks promising although the darkness will sneak up on me and I will not get my full 20 miles in. I’ll be lucky to get about thirteen before it gets too dark to see my way home.
No word on any of the stuff that was taken while he was at home for spring break. He did receive a phone call from the detective but was not able to get back in touch with him to find out what he wanted. My son is very upset over this. He said that he gets a sick feeling in his gut everytime he goes into his room. The good news is that he will not have to pay for the repairs to the door. It seems that it’s the apartment’s place to have it repaired at their expense. That’s a relief. We’re already going to have to replace everything that was stolen and we didn’t need any extra expense.
Sorry for not posting any new stuff lately. Just haven’t been anywhere to take any pictures. I’m planning on getting out this weekend and shooting some. There is an air show this weekend. Maybe I’ll go there. We shall see.

Started off a little on the cool side but it quickly warmed up. I was determined to get the full route in and with a few stops to rest I was able to complete it. Not long after I finished the ride the rains came in.
It was good to get out and take my time without worrying about it getting too dark to ride. It was nice to hear all the birds chirping and the see all the squirrels playing around. I did have a couple of ankle biters chase after me. One of them almost made me wreck. I don’t know why these people don’t keep their dogs on a leash. I also had two cars back out of their driveways and I had to slam on by breaks. I know they saw me but they kept coming. Other than those few things I had an awesome ride. Just a few more weeks and I’ll be riding my first metric half century of the year. I’m not sure I’ll make it but I’m sure going to give it my best.

I’m about to go on a bicycle ride and this is what I saw when I made a trip out to my truck. It’s going to be a beautiful day. A couple of days ago the weather people said that it was going to rain all day. I’m glad they took the rain out of the forecast. Tomorrow however, it’s going to be a different story.

It’s not what I wanted to do but it got dark on me. It felt good being out there on my bike and feeling the cool breeze. If I’ve learned anything the last two days is that I am out of shape. I’ve signed up for a 46 mile bike ride in less than a month and I’ll tell you, I’m not ready.
Tomorrow the rain returns and it’s supposed to rain until Saturday morning. Should be nice on Sunday. My plan is to ride 20 miles this weekend. We shall see.
I went to my eye doctor this afternoon and I got a good report. I don’t have to go back to see him for six months. The best news is that I’m done having injections in my eyes. Those were tough to deal with.

365 Day Photo Challenge, 50 miler, Alabama, Bike, Bike Riding, Cycling, treadmill, Weightloss, workout
This is me about two years ago. I’ve since gained some of my weight back being that my boss didn’t think I could make in to work in time if I got called in while on a bike ride. Now that I’m no longer on call I don’t have to worry about it. I can’t put all the blame on my boss being that I could have done a lot of other things to keep my weight off. Anyway, tonight I started what I hope is a long term workout program. I started slow, only thirty minutes on my treadmill at a slow 2.9 mph and then I got on my bike trainer for 15 minutes doing about 20 mph. I may not have done much but at least it feels like I worked out. I’m looking forward to warmer weather so I can get out and hopefully get back to riding my 20 miles a day.
The photo above was taken after my first 50 miler. I know for a fact that I wouldn’t look that excited if I had to ride that ride today. I’m so out of shape.
