What to do with an afternoon with a bike and no plan? Let’s wander.

I couldn’t resist the call of dirt even on my road bike.

After that I was on the new trail going thru Waterworks park.

I also came across the excitement shortly after they found Matt Thompson who had been missing since Monday. Poor kid had climbed a tree and then fallen and broke his leg. Glad to hear this story had a happy ending.

Stopped for a lil siesta on the way to Martensdale.

Made it to Martensdale and decided I needed to refuel.

On the way back my crank arm came loose and luckily I was able to get it tight enough to make it home. I was a little worried if I’d be able to get enough torque on it.

Got in 41 some miles for the day, not a bad warm up for Saturday’s 24 hr race. I’m hoping to get out once more on Friday for an easy leg spin to loosen the legs up. Then it’s home to pack and get things ready. Hopefully Mr. Ernesto spinning up the East coast doesn’t mess up our weather for the weekend....doesn’t look good right now.

Oh...saw this parked up on the Hwy 5 bypass and boy did BBops sound good at this point.

Tonight I’m heading up to the ISU game with my dad. Go State!!
