10 November 2011 Ride

A VERY quick posting today as I'm a bit overwhelmed as I am hurrying to get ready for the Springfield, MO bike trek I'm leaving on tomorrow morning.  Rachel has a couple of soccer games there Sunday, so, of course, biking opportunity.  I wouldn't have ended up being so cramped for time if I didn't insist on getting in a 40 mile bike ride today.

Morning Moonset

Fortunately, the route is familiar to me as this was the first two days of a trip I did to Overland Park, KS last year to go watch Rachel play soccer up there.  First leg of this trip will be 60 miles to Roaring River State Park.  The second day will be about 70 miles to Springfield.  Lost of hills, especially on day one.

I am not sure when will be the next time I will have a chance to post; may not be until Monday.

Good ride today though a bit melancholy at times.  Good to see a couple of familiar faces when I was on the trail.

Until next posting...Happy Trails.
