I went for a three hour bike ride this morning. It was windy and overcast, so I started about 8 o’clock, a little later than I had hoped, and rode over to Mesa Drive where I went up and down the big hill twice. I had plans to ride down and up one more time put I was too wiped out when I reached the top the second time. I will have to continue this again next weekend. On the bright side, I climbed better than 1600 feet in total this morning and my legs feel it this evening.
After the workout on the hill, my plan was to ride down to Zilker Park and watch the kite festival, but I didn’t make it that far. I got down to the Colorado River, but traffic was heavier than I like to bike through, so I turned back home. It was nice to have the wind at my back.
They were predicting winds gusting to 25 MPH on the weather report when I left home. Luckily, I was heading into the wind as I left home (when I was fresh) and returning with the wind to my back (when I was tired).
How do you draw the line and measure distance on the map? You showed me once. I was curious how far of a walk it is to my language class and back. It takes about 30 minutes each way but I’m not walking terribly fast.
