Riding my Birthday

One annual check on my health is to see if I can still ride my birthday. This year that is 67 miles. Not a problem that I can tell as I feel great after this quick jaunt to Perry for lunch with my pals Gerry and Carl. Carl was also riding his birthday (75) and I hope in 8 years I am still as strong a rider as Carl.  I actually rode a little over 68 miles, so I’m set for next year’s route.


Lunch at La Ventura, an excellent pupusaria in Perry. My lunch was 5 bucks.

Drove three hours to hike this morning. Stopped for gas in Benson on the I-10: $2.89/gal. Stopped again on the way back, same station: $3.09...
