WTF? Shavertown Bridge? OK, OK, don’t get all wigged out. It’s just the Pepacton span that we are all well familiar with. So, I must sadly admit that these solo rides upstate are becoming increasingly unsatisfying. Don’t get me wrong, today’s ride was wonderful. I felt really good save for the sore left shoulder (still suffering the impingement), and the weather was perfect with blue skies, fluffy cumulus, moderate wind out if the NW @ 10, low humidity and 70-degree temps. The problem is the ceaselessly solitary nature of these outings. Being in the middle of nowhere, all alone, is somewhat unnerving. I almost miss the traffic of Bayside! Joey remains absent in spite of a noticeable improvement with his angina, not really having experienced any discomfort in a few weeks. I DO understand his reluctance to get back on the bike. Nonetheless, it still makes for a less than satisfying experience for me.
