Sandy’s back from training and I decided on Thursday that we were going to take a bike ride. I found an athletic complex in Irving that turns out to have been a place where I had played softball years ago when I was with PDS. My memory of the place was mosquitos to be honest. But we were just there to hit the trails. But, Google took us to a road that just didn’t exist, fenced off and unused for years. Got back to where I remember play softball and it was locked up. We managed to find a place down the street that got us to where we needed to be.

It was a nice ride but we got seriously burnt. Both the wind and the sun type burns. I also hit 1500 miles on the journey. It was exactly what I’d been looking for, miles and miles of paved trail with the only caveat being that it’s in the flood plain so there were parts we had to traverse water, well we rode right through it.

We finished the day trip off with a late lunch at the Aspen Creek Grill in Irving. Not the easiest place to get to but it was nice. I had the chicken fried steak and Sandy had a salad. She started getting cold in the restaurant so we didn’t doddle but the temperature seriously dropped. It was 86 or so at 1pm and now at 6pm it’s dropped to 58 and will plummet when the sun goes down. The high tomorrow is 47 so 40 degrees colder. That’s why we biked today and will mall walk tomorrow.
