Put on a helmet and rode the new bike over to Bishop Arts and back, then to Keist Park and back. Practiced going over bumps and holes, (well, I could hardly avoid that!) Practiced stops and starts. The most challenging was getting across Illinois St. without a light. Didn't distinguish myself, but didn't extinguish myself, either. The ride is much smoother than the trike's, but not peppy on the modest hills. Completed 11 miles, with a couple of adjustment stops, in a stately 10 mph! Tongue

Reply #34 - Aug 17^th, 2011, 8:23pm 20 miles going to Mesquite for what I thought would be a $1k gas card but it turned out to be only $2. The flyer had my winning numbers next to the picture of the gas card prize, but that wasn't what my prize was.

Saw a WFAA news van sitting in Trinity Park by the trail bike path. I stopped to see what they were up to , they had just wraped up a follow up report about a woman who drowned late last night while trying to save here child who fell into the river. So sad.

I rode to work all five days this week. It was well over 100 degrees every afternoon (107 today). I'm definitely ready for a break in the heat.

I enjoy tracking my mileage, but managed to forget a couple of milestones that I reached this summer. I mentioned in my March Guest Blog at the Lungevity Foundation site that, sometime this summer, I expected to reach 24,900 miles (the circumference of the earth) ridden since my lung cancer diagnosis. I then forgot to watch for it, but I now have 26,570 miles since the beginning of 2008, so I have indeed ridden around the world since being diagnosed with lung cancer.

I also didn't notice it when I passed the 10,000 mile mark on my Stratus XP. I now have 12,057 miles on it. That's still less than I have on the Corsa, but it's gaining fast, with all my commuting miles being on it.

2011 days ridden to work: 140
2011 commuting mileage: 3418.3
