Thursday Bike Ride

Today is Friday May 30 2025 and yesterday i did a bike ride.

I took yesterday and today off work so i plan to ride again today.

Yesterday i did 34.88 miles riding the mountain bike on pavement, today i'd like to do 40 but i probably wont have time for that. Then i can ride tomorrow and Sunday, if i could add 5 miles each day that would be 170 miles in 4 days. Thats a ton for me.

Anyway...

Yesterdays ride was good however i didn't really have lunch and the ride didn't start until about 2 so i had to stop at Cafe Ca Phe in Columbus park for a muffin and a bananna in order to keep going. 

In some of the pics you can see the posion ivy i recently got on my wrists, it sucks.

One memorable thing about this ride is that i've decided to come up with a specific song to start when i do the cliff drive stretch and to see if i can complete the section before the song ends. Yesterday i  choose "Goodby Stranger" by Supertramp. On spotify the song is 5:50 which was about 3 minutes and 48 seconds too short for my effort yesterday. Obviously it depends on what type of bike your riding, mountain bike = slow. Perhaps i need a specific song for each specific bike. But then again that's too complicated. 

So it's been decided. Goodbye Stranger by Supertramp is the song. If you're playing along at home i start at the eastern most part of Cliff Drive Scenic Byway and finish where the Cliff Drive Scenic Byway ends and turns into The Paseo.

Anyway...

Yesterday was a good ride and i hope today is the same.
