Indian summer

slow a.m. ride with nothing of note. actually, i had one weirdly good moment on that street perpedicular to Midcitymall off Baxter. the image of a treed, leafy tunnel with a little street sparkle here-n-there. don't know, but i liked it for some reason. well, the afternoon proved sunny, a little to warm for me at 86 almost in October, but nice and breezy. i was resolute to get a few more miles in, and did so. i started off with 'cheryl'. 'lance' btw is letting us down. once he ordered his new Bachetti/25lb 'bent, i think he's too physcologically frayed to rode the "old" Rans 'bent. anway, meandered over to the "Canal" trail or whatever the hell it's called and into the park. i chickened doing the hills, so i went the wrong way on the loop and over to Altavista and into Seneca. after a loop around Seneca, i passed by to harass some of the Manual Xcountry team. i then looped over to the Cherokee trail, up to Spring, and home through Seneca Gardens. some good slow steady miles. i'm kinda worried abt my back, as it's quite tweaked in the middle spinal area. it's never painful, but never comfortable either. vamos a ver desafortunadamente.

25.4m/7 m a.m./18.4 p.m./13 avg (slow, eh?)/60 in the morning, cold enough for long sleeves/86 and too warm in the afternoon
