Comments: Another Fall Codger Corp ride with Bob D. and me -one of our more epic adventures.

The ride was a relaxed pace effort With much "Fall Leaf Peeping." I should have taken pictures. We visited Lee Bausch's graveside and searched Holy Sepulcher for my Father's grave marker (I'm sure I was right near it).

We toured neighborhoods in parts of North, South, and East Greece, along with the Riverway trail in Charlotte -including Turning Point Park. Upstream from Turning Point, we viewed the massive McKeil Spirit Cement Ship unloading cement at the ESSROC port.

We got on the Erie Canal Towpath at Lee Road near Trolley Boulevard to head back west to home.

Comments: Today on a bike ride along the Erie Canal

November sunshine has no warmth in the shadows -windchill feels colder.
As shadows grow long making November colder The wind chills deeply.
The shadows lengthen as November grows frosty with trees -now leafless
Casting long shadows chilly November fingers Darken the towpath
Along the towpath A Doe bursts through the thicket pacing with my bike.
Bounding alongside, the Doe startled as I was plunged back down the bank.
Then, hopping a ditch Crossing the roadway in haste The Deer was long gone

Comments: It's 41°f and raining -no outside bike ride. My mileage goal for 2024 is 2024! Since I am 178 miles shy and have 39 days to reach my goal, it calls for more indoor effort! Today was a good indoor session (the first since April 20th).

(YTD bike hours are 125.5)

For 2025, I will set a mileage and time goal for the year.

Comments: Scraped the driveway of ice and snow early this morning. Afterward, I napped and then did this morning's wuss indoor ride at 10:15(ish). Next year's mileage will omit indoor miles and instead be prefaced with a total cycling hours goal.

Comments: Overnight Temps were down to 0° -the coldest of the year! So this 40-minute indoor ride surpassed my goal. Now With another week to go, I'm resetting my goal to 140 total cycling hours. To date, about 25% of my "total miles" were indoor miles with 28% (38hrs) of the total (137.5hrs) cycling hours being indoor hours. The cycling goal for 2025 will be 150 hours.
