Sunday! Today, we ride! It was a short ride, but it was fun. Barri’s arm is still hurt, but yesterday we went by a Walgreens and she got a carpal tunnel brace, and that seems to help keep it from getting worse. Cool!
So, the ride today is Potter’s Pasture, just outside of Brady, NE. We decide to do the easy Green loop, since The Bear is injured still. Yup, that’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it! We got to do a little bit of trail maintenance in the form of signage repair -someone had removed a marker for the green trail, it was undamaged, and its screw still on the post, so I removed the screw and put the little tag back where it belonged. And, in the spirit of “no good deed goes unpunished” there is another place further in the trail where there is no marking for the green trail and we end up on “Potter’s Plunge”, but backwards, so I climb this MONSTER hill, bike in tow, which Barri cannot climb, and it’s obviously the wrong way anyway, so I climb back down, bike in tow. Ah, well, I’m the fitter for it!
So we finish the ride, feeling good, and all is well! I actually remembered to shoot some video today, which I will post … one of these days.
Tomorrow, we head for South Dakota!
