Don't tell my orthopedic surgeon. I'm still 3 weeks away from a follow-up for the broken collar bone, but today I went for a little ride. A little over 46 miles. This started out to be an errand ride to the LBS to sort out some details for the delivery of the new Stump Jumper FSR Comp EVO 650B "Clavicle". The weather was warm with nary a breeze so it felt like a Five Mile/Russell Creek/7-Eleven kind of day. As always the climb up Five Mile was scenic and Russell Creek, the smoothest tarmac in Walla Walla County, was it's own reward. To 7-Eleven for a Spicy Bite and a Mikes Hard for lunch and my day was complete, but not yet. I didn't want to go back in the traffic of WW for a cross town to home so I started out on the farm roads on a roundabout way back to College Place. By the time I got ready to turn back west I was so far south that ice cream at the world famous Burger Hut in Milton-Freewater seemed the right kind of stop. Mint chocolate chip and I was on my way back home. All and all it was a very satisfying run to complete an errand. Clavicle will be mine in 11 days, happy B-Day to me and happy birthday to me.
