 Back On the BIke
It's been nearly two weeks since I rode last. I rode late today since I had a massage until 1:00. I had a bite to eat then hit the road. I rode through Cleveland Park, but the trail was very crowded. I bypassed Falls Park since it was packed. I got back on the trail, but turned off to climb up to TTR. I rode up to see about my old Schwinn. Cis came in shortly after me and they fitted it to her and showed her how to shift and brake with it. I put it in the GMC and off she went. I headed on up the trail but I was underdressed for the weather. I was chilly much of the ride. I ran into Ken and Mark going north. After I crossed Sulphur Springs another rider passed me and was setting a good pace. I was a ways behind him, but when I hit the bigger gears I started pulling him in. Eventually I pulled into his slipstream and he pulled me up the trail. He pulled me about a mile and a half. I usually don't draft on riders that I don't know, but I got into his slipstream but didn't have enough to pull ahead and pull him along. Later I passed him in TR and told him that I didn't mean to wheelsuck on him, but it was no problem for him. I thanked him for the pull. I stopped in TR and talked to Uncle Swoll for a minute. Then I headed back down the trail. The wind was pretty tough going down the trail. I made my way down and through Falls Park. I was going through Cleveland Park and heard a woman call my name. It was Elissa. I stopped and talked to her for a while, then headed on home.
