Despite some early rain, Marty and I headed out and did some long rail trail and backroad riding.
We got up sort of early, and checked out the weather. There was a small system moving through, but it looked weak, and nothing coming behind it. So we tossed the bikes onto the Jeep, and headed to Richmond.
The Ride Data
We got rolling right around 10AM, and the rain was in sort of a medium drizzle. But, within 10-15 minutes, it let up completely, and that was the last of the rain for the day.
We heading out toward Armada on the trail, and then shot up Omo toward my parents. Stopped and chatted for about an hour, then headed back out. Took a different route down a bit further west, and caught the trail and headed back east.
Having covered a few miles of the trail that we hadn’t ridden before on the trip out, we covered out last virgin mile of MOT between North Ave and Omo Roads on the way back. We’ve covered every inch of the trail at this point, a little over 23 miles in total. Sometime before the year is over, we’ll have to do it end to end at lest once.
We were just short of 30 miles today, and about 2:30 on the bikes. ~11.5 average speed, not bad considering we were both on out SS with fairly low gears (32×19 and 34×18)
