Ride In The Bike Lane

I love this video.

Yesterday's Gone

I could hardly get myself motivated. Temps dropped 20 degrees, winds increased to 20 mph and the sun was no where to be found. The dog days of Summer are gone. Predicted forecast over the next few days are cold wind and rain. Knowing that, I finally dragged my ass out around 11 for an easy 15 miles. My ICE T was the bike of choice. The fairing helps greatly when battling wind and cold. Things were not as bad as I thought. By turning off and taking one of my old favorite loops I was able to add another 10 miles. It was just the ticket to keep things interesting. It seems the older I get the more difficult cold weather riding gets. I won't wish my life away by rushing Winter, but, I do hope for a mild one.

Playing with videos on my cell phone. Another unbelievable October day.
50 miles!

Kickass Day

Too Nice

We have been blessed with some outstanding weather in NJ.  Mornings are cool in the 50's, warming up to the 70's. Add to that bright sunshine. No forecasted rain for quite sometime. Anyway, I had errands to run and thought I might do some shopping so I hopped on the Greenway. It was too beautiful  to waste indoors buying things I probably didn't need, so I turned around and headed for the country. A trike is just the thing to sit back and soak up this beautiful weather. If you worked today, it sucks for you.

Fall is fast approaching

Yesterday's Commute

It was a nice commute but I forgot headlights. I use my bike lights as flashlights and left them in my vehicle. During the Summer months it's not a problem. Before I know it the sun is rising. Not the case now. Dawn did not approach until I arrived at work. It was a bit scary as I couldn't see any road hazards. The best I could do was stay focused enough to remain in the road. There was no way to pedal the 5 mile bike path. Way too dark. I had to take rt 79, a major rode, with street lights. Good thing it has a wide shoulder. I managed to safely make it to work with coffee and treats from DD.

Another Day

I had a hankering for a trike ride so I aired up the tires on my ICE T.  It was another beautiful cool morning with temps in the 50's-60's. The fairing negated any wind effect.  Long sleeve shirt, windbreaker and shoes instead of sandals. I can't believe I'm saying this but I was cold. I added my favorite Fall cap and a pair of lightweight knit gloves. I guess I'm still on Summer time. (I hope I'm not turning into an old Snowbird who can't tolerate airconditoning.)  Ten miles into the ride I lost the gloves and swapped out my cap. My legs were quite sore from yesterday's ride as I haven't been on a recumbent in a few weeks. My favorite motto, Slow and Steady. You really couldn't ask for nicer weather. I call it, A Marty Day!  I have a few days of work coming up and I look forward to commuting. I do miss being on vacation but it's nice getting back to my cycling routine.
