South of Sunnyside

The grass is greener where the water is turned on

One cyclical step at a time

It’s about two and a half miles from my house to Starbucks, and I make the trip several times a week. Now that my legs have adjusted the the workout, I’ve been trying to find routes that stretch out the ride (though some are better than others).

Today I ventured even further, heading south to Jensen, then west to the canal (just west of Minnewawa). Total one-way travel is almost five and half miles, which put me at a total of eight before lunch. And then I did it again.

Actually, I rode around the neighborhood a bit first, so that puts me at a total of about 17 miles for the day. According to my chiropractor, it’s not really something to brag about, but I doubt he’ll read this.

I told myself today (there’s no one else for me to talk to when I’m riding) that if I can get to 15 – 20 miles in one outing, on my current bike, then I’ll consider the time, energy and expense of a centennial. Check in with me next year.
