Chris and I met at Peden Stadium at 6:15 for an early morning ride. We did a quick out and back on the bike path, covering 32 miles in a little over 2 hours. We saw 7 deer, a number of rabbits, a few chipmunks, and a kamikaze squirrel. I was back home by 8:45, just in time for a trip to Bob Evans for breakfast with the family.
Early start at Peden
The route:
After missing my ride yesterday (slept in until 7) , I wanted to do a little more than the previous days. I had mapped our another route, but decided to stick with this one. I figured with a new route I would spend too much time looking at a map and too little time riding. I left at 6:15 just as the sun was coming up. The views around Lake Harris were great in the early morning. I was home by 8 before it got too hot.

Tired legs from yesterday’s ride, plus I got started 30 minutes late, so today’s ride was a bit shorter. I did basically the same route, except I didn’t do as many loops around Lakeshore. Despite leaving the house at 7, traffic was pretty light on the route for a Monday morning.
The Route:
Had a great ride around Leesburg this morning. It started with a light rain and wet roads, but turned into dry and humid. The ride through old downtown Leesburg was nice, and the loop around Sunnyside and Lakeshore was spectacular. I got stung by a yellow jacket that collided with my arm (it’s dead now) but otherwise great 90 minutes on the bike.

The route:
While visiting my folks in Chattanooga, Tennessee this week, my dad and I took two rides on Monday and Tuesday. Both times we rode the path at the Chattanooga Riverpark. While it’s not a very strenuous route at all, it was very good to get out and enjoy some quality time on the bike.
