So far so good on the August Challenge. 12 days - 12 rides. Not a bad streak but I'm not even halfway there yet.
These 2 rides happened almost exactly 9 hours apart. Ride eleven was a fun little ramble around the neighborhood with the grand kids. We had fun and I'm amazed at how quickly they are progressing. Where a few weeks ago they would complain and want to take a break before we completed one lap, yesterday they were raring to go for multiple laps. The 3 boys actually did 4 or 5 laps and were doing great!
Stats for ride 11:
3.0 miles
0:21:45 elapsed time
This morning it was back at it - up at 4:00 and out riding by 4:07. There were a few remarkable things about this morning's ride. The traffic was awfully busy for that time of the morning. I must have been passed by 20+ cars. I know that's not a lot for most people, but that is one of the reasons that I like the early morning rides - virtually no traffic. Among the cars were an NHP cruiser and about 10 minutes later an LVMPD cruiser. What was remarkable was they both headed in the same direction - south on Pebble towards Durango.
I also saw a group of 4 riders headed north on Pebble towards fort Apache all decked out in their matching kits. I couldn't read what they said but they were all while and green.
One other item to note was I saw a young boy - probably 11 or 12 riding a much too big bike with no lights. He slowed and was waiting to turn onto El Capitan Way, but I slowed to wait for him to see if he was all right, but he disappeared. Not sure if he changed his mind about turning or rode into the new sub on the corner, but I couldn't find him. He just seemed out of place at that time of the morning.
