I found a hobo camp

I went 26.55 miles today. I went to church and Dillons as usual. I found an abandoned camp where homeless people were staying. It had a mattress, and a make shift mosquito net. The net they made would have done a poor job keeping out the bugs. There was a small dump for old bottles and cans and such too. There may be still a homeless person staying there.

E bay purchase

I am living dangerously now! I bought a tire pump for my bike on E bay! This is only the beginning of my online shopping addiction.

Lost five pounds this week!

Checked my blood pressure this morning. 93/56. 54 heartbeats per minute. I lost 5 lbs too. I weight 150 lbs.

Hot, Hot, Hot!

I felt good this morning, which surprised me after having heat exhaustion yesterday. I went to church and Dillons. I wore a wide brimmed hat instead of a helmet, and I know that's a no no. But, it was HOT!

The heat can be dangerous

I rode 43.3 miles to my brothers house yesterday. I got heat exhaustion on the way home. I had a headache, and I was nauseous. It was no fun at all, but I got home. I had to stop several times to cool down, and I even took a nap. After the sun went down and it cooled off a little I felt much better. I had to get into some traffic and it was a little intimidating. On the way there, I passed a tractor. I don't pass many vehicles, but he was very slow! I walked through the fiesta on the way home.

At the Car show

I started out slow, but by the end of the ride I felt very strong. I went to Church,Dillons, and to the bike shop. I bought a replacement pair of gloves. I went the standard 27 miles today. The picture was taken at the Car show last night. I was there with Debbie, and Ed. Went to Ed's house afterward. It was a good time.

Quality time with my Sister

I got about 10 miles from home, and my sister called and invited me to a Car show. I turned around and met her there. We ate at Jersy Mikes then we went to Ed's house. It was a good time. I only got in 16 miles, but I was really tired for some reason.

I did 27.5 miles of rain riding today. It was a warm gentle rain, and I enjoyed it. I am normally soaked in sweat anyway, so I did not notice much difference. I went to church, went to Dillons, and went back to church. Then I went home. It was a very nice ride.

Lots of dust and corn!

37.7 mile bike ride on Landon Trail

37.7 mile bike ride today on the Landon Trail. I made it to 109th Street. I misplaced my bike gloves, and I could not find them. The trail ends at Ratner Road, so I went south to 109th. I barely made it up a very steep hill. I had to use the brake to keep from going to fast when I went down it. I thought I might lose control on the gravel. My speedometer still showed 22 mph!
