Kathy and I went for a ride today in a hilly section of town. And don't you know the bikes shifting wasn't working right, I couldn't get into lower gears. A quick adjustment at home should have that fixed. So we only road a little over 9 miles. I also took the toe clips off and now need to get different pedals. I'm staying away from what is called "clipless" pedals. Think I'll get some MKS pedals with a regular cage.

Quote from rhjanes: “Texas is still iffy. IF the thicker clouds stay near the coast on their way up, to central and north Texas, we get some partial views. IF the thin clouds stay, we might get some views. IF....IF.....There is rain but not until after the eclipse. ” Life is full of uncertainty and "ifs"

Forget about the upcoming eclipse, did anybody else feel the earthquake this morning. We were sitting in a funeral home and the whole place began to rumble and shake. Evidently the quake was centered in NJ , a little west of NYC and was a 4.7 on the Richter scale. Now that was cool since no real damage was done.

No walk today for me as it's pouring rain all day today, again.

Quote from hikerboy: “The plan begins today. Taking Amtrak to Gaineville, Ga, gets in Thursday 7:25 am. I had bought a coach seat for $165 (private rooms started at $615, which I wasn't going to spend) A few days ago, I received an upgrade option where you place a bid starting from $160 to $615 to upgrade to a roomette, which has a bed and a private toilet. I put in a bid for the minimum $160, and a few hours later got an email that my bid was accepted. So at least I'll have a bit of privacy and…

Happy hunting,... I mean shopping There are websites that specialize on used gear, if that helps. The one that comes to mind right now is geartrade. There are more but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Today is gonna be a zero because of the rain. I guess I prove Matt-C's point.

4.87 miles today in a local town park, nothing special or notable at all.

For those of you/us that celebrate Easter I hope it turns out to be a great day.

Just my 2 cents, which isn't worth even that much, but I think all this worrying is gonna be for naught. Just like the Y2K worry which turned out to be a waste of time and energy.

Sounds like a plan.

How about if it's a lot of precipitation ?

Today's walk was just under 2 miles because of pouring rain.

Quote from Astro: “Quote from LIhikers: “Got out today for a 3.47 mile walk in West Hills county park. I was overdressed for temps in the 50s and worked up quite a swaet. I've decided I like this app, I mentioned a few days ago. It's simple to use and gives useful info. ” Glad the bike mishap is not holding you back. ” Nope, I'm fine. I just can't decide if I want to put the front fender back on the bike or not. I was able to fix it.

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from LIhikers: “Yesterday's walk was in a place called Planting Fields Arboretum, it was only the 2nd time I've ever been there. It was the estate of a wealthy family from 1913 until 1955. As you might expect in an arboretum there were all sorts of gardens and green houses to go through. We hiked 4.1 miles on trails that went through the non-manicured woods. I think it took us about 2.5 hours as we stopped so Kathy could read the signs describing the trees, flowers, a…

geesh

We went out today for a bicycle ride. We rode over to a coffee shop across town 5.5 miles. After coffee and conversation we wandered home for a total of 14.9 miles. Outbound we were going into a moderate wind and coming home it was at our back about 1/2 the time. Then about a quarter of a mile from home I crashed. I don't know how or why but my front fender got tangled in the front wheel and I went down on my right side. After I untangled the front fender from the wheel we walked the 1 /4 mile t…
