Currently 68 degrees!!
I set off on my bike knowing that the neighborhood wasn't going to cut it today. I CAREFULLY made my way into downtown Graham and once there I rode mostly on the sidewalks. It was quite safe. Main street was a great straight ride, pretty flat. The sidewalk was a bit uneven at times and navigating the mini up-and-down ramps where the sidewalk intersected with side streets was new, but not really difficult. Everything was fine since I'm on a mountain bike instead of a road bike. The hardest part was making tight right angle turns on the corners of blocks. There really isn't enough room to ride the curve, so I had to stop and reposition my bike once or twice. Still worth it. I was having such a good time that I went a full five miles before I even bothered to check my tracker. I was still outside my neighborhood, so I knew I had a bit more to go yet. I took some extra streets to stretch out the ride further and was really proud to see that I had gone just shy of 6 miles when I pulled in the driveway!!
I am definitely doing that route again soon.
I can't wait for Rick to get better so he can come!
