Great Labor Day Riding

It’s Labor Day, so I didn’t have to work.  My daughter came over this morning, and we headed to Louisville for the Mayor’s Hike and Bike.

We only rode the short route, about 16 miles.  I saw several recumbent bikes, unfortunately, I was on my hybrid.

We rode with the last group.  It is the new & family group, the slowest, and the largest group.  I could have went with a faster group, but my daughter would have had trouble keeping up.  It was interesting to ride in this large of a group.  I did have to watch out for young ones weaving around though.  It was crowded.

After I got home, I really wanted to ride more.  So I hopped on my recumbent, and took a 14 mile ride in the country.   It was hilly, and the temperature is in the mid-90s, but I enjoyed the ride.

So I rode a total of 30 miles today.  That’s just a little less than when I commute to work.
