7/6/21: Unannounced Lockport Bike Ride

Only two people attended this event; my sister Linda (Tall Club Wannabe, who has basically recovered from her knee surgery) and yours truly; we only went for a short 19-mile bike ride; pretty hot no breeze, almost too hot to honk! A guy passing us requested a honking demonstration, so I honked it up pretty good with my menagerie of honking devices, he gave me a high sign (not flipping the bird) as he passed. Parts of the trail have washed out due to the 10 days of rain we just had.

The ride went pretty well, except on the way back my front tire got stuck in a rut (due to being washed out) causing me to fall, since I was only going 16 MPH at the time I didn’t get hurt I finished the bike ride as planned, about an hour later, it was OUCH time, as long as I kept riding I was fine. My sister says, “see now you know how I feel after my knee surgery.” So I had to vacuum up around 20 bees in my apartment (I still have a beehive living in my attic) which was somewhat of a challenge with a stiff leg. I haven’t been stung yet, which I find amazing. I must be getting old because guys shooting off firecrackers when I’m trying to sleep, not that much fun like it was 55 years ago.
