 Not Quite a Quarter
Today I headed off to do my Fairforest/ICAR route with a final detour by the Swamp Rabbit Cafe. I went through Cleveland Park and caught a black rider at First Baptist. We rode together a couple of miles - he was turning around where the trail deadheads at Pleasantburg while I was crossing over to get to the Fairforest/ICAR area. He says that he normally rides 40 miles, but that he will be having both knees replaced on Monday. He is hoping for much better knee performance as his knees are shot. I told him about my friend Steve that had both knees done a couple of years back. I rode on to Fairforest and the ICAR, but after I crossed Laurens Road to head back for home I flatted. I called Cis to come get me and I changed innertubes while waiting for her. We went to REI where I bought a pair of riding socks, a new innertube, and new tire tools. I stepped on one of mine a couple of months ago and broke it. It still works but is awkward. Yougart Mountain is next to REI, so we stopped for some frozen yougart. I got what I thought were chocolate covered peanuts, but they turned out to be chocolate covered Gummi Bears!!! Yuck!!!!
