Smoother Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 I can't believe no one has a ride they wish to share. Here's my wrap up of my week.

Hey! I'm getting better. This afternoon was doable when the rain stopped, but then the England France rugby was scheduled, so there went the day.

Pod TOTAL DISTANCE ON THIS WHEEL: About 1380km BEST FEATURE OF THE RIDE: sitting on a bench in the sun, nice tunes from my headphones, enjoying the view of the river, having a reason to be out in the lovely weather WORST FEATURE OF THE RIDE: Young boy who cut suddenly across my (empty) path for no apparent reason other than his parents yelled (from a distance) "keep to the side". He was already at the side, decided to cross to the other side, MY SIDE! GRRRR! RECOMMENDATIONS/WARNINGS FOR RIDERS: When riding for pleasure the temptation is to ride. ride, ride, ride. But you see more if you pick a nice spot and give yourself time to take in the view. these EUCs add a dimension to our lives, don' forget to embrace ALL that entails. Riding with music really enhances my rides by a factor of 4. If I forget my headphones, or iPod, it's hugely disappointing.
