First Ride of the Month


 Yesterday I headed out for my first ride in an attempt to ride over 300 miles this month for the American Cancer Society. I had intended an 18-mile or so ride, but I rode with a friend and I rode the 2.3 miles each way to and from his house. We rode a nice 20-mile ride. So, as a result, I started the month strong with a 25 mile ride. 

Along the Loxahatchee

It was a nice ride through most of the places I traverse on a regular basis. It was a nice day for riding and I stopped along the Loxahatchee River in a small community and took an image of the flat water and idyllic day. I admit, the image did not come out quite the way I envisioned it. The neighborhood is very quiet and I enjoy riding along the river.

Along the way we saw three tortoises, which may seem boring, but seeing a tortoise is something by which we gauge our rides. We always ask each other, how many tortoises did you see? I never see as many as he does. He pointed out a couple tortoise holes that I was unaware of and that may improve my ride counts. 

Well, only 275 more miles this month. I'm planning a 17 or so mile ride today.
