RECOVERY RIDE

Monday morning’s ride, a typical out and back from the shopping mall to Einstein's Bagel Shoppe in Weston, was just what Dr. Bobo ordered.  (I'm Dr. Bobo)  After feeling a great deal of anxieties after Wednesday’s bicycle crash, I’ve now regained my self-confidence.

Today’s ride included a little bit of escort duties, slow conversational type riding and occasional sprints to speeds just below 25 mph.

As far as the weather was concerned, it couldn’t have been more pleasant. We were blessed with 62 degrees at the beginning of the ride and 70 near the end – with clear skies and wind out of the north at 5 to 10 mph.

We rode on city streets, a couple of sidewalks, over interstate bridges, and on country roads.

The only thing that could have made this ride better was if we would have had a pile of flapjacks covered with maple syrup waiting for us at the completion of the ride. 

Oh, and some hot coffee and Florida orange juice.
