It was a week since my last ride, I had been battling Allergies and feeling not right issues! Its something that has afflicted me in the past. As I get older it seems I am more sensitive to environmental pollution! I needed to get a clean air filtration system for my room, to help reduce/clean dust, pollen and other allergens that are effecting my lungs. It has been running for a little over 24 hours and I do feel a little better. Back to ride, I wanted to go longer but did not want to over tax myself and the temps, humidity and nice breeze was perfect for me. I tried to keep my effort under control and not push the ride! I almost cut the ride when I seen Lightning ahead of me. I listened to for the Thunder but did not hear so I felt OK and kept going and was ready to turn around if I could hear the thunder! The ride felt really good and I was feeling good like wise. I had miscalculated turn around distance by one mile, so I had to go the way I came out and not turn 2 miles earlier, which was no biggie! This route is nice to ride at night as the roads are nice and has a wide shoulder and much of the ride the shoulder has rumble strip to keep high speed cars off the shoulders, I just got to keep my eyes watching out for unexpected debris! I am so happy to be able to get out to ride and enjoy the beautiful night... be safe out there, enjoy the ride and smile as you finish your awesome ride!
