Sunday March 24th – Tuesday April 9th
To contrary belief I’m still alive and kicking. In the three weeks since my last blog post, I've attended several spin classes, rode my trainer indoors, and have had several outdoor
rides for a total of 240.68 miles since my last report. I'm currently just outside Springfield Mo on I-44 heading west.

Ride
Notes: I’ve been able to get several
outdoor rides in and that makes me very happy.
I’ve been commuting to work via bicycle about 2 times a week and I plan
on keeping up that pace until winter hits at the end of the year. This past weekend I did some exploring
around Lake Zorinsky and I found several miles of single track that wind around
in the grass lands and up into the woods and hills surrounding the lake. It’s hard to believe that when just a few
hundred yards off the main trail that I feel like I’m in the deepest woods of Colorado.
To think this has been right under my
nose for years without ever knowing it was there. I’m glad I stumbled upon this new trail
system. This week while walking the dog,
I also discovered a single track trail that leads from my neighborhood and under
the bridge on 180th street into the main Lake Zorinsky trail
system. I didn’t go past the bridge as
it was getting dark and rain was threatening.
I’m excited that I may have found a direct route onto the trails.
