The weather has gone from HOT 90 F+ to 60 F chilly and lite rain, arrugh! Not a lot new, mainly getting in errand and FOOD rides with a recreational ride here and there. We did a video on what it takes for us to get those food and supplies.
It also shows the 1.2 mile walk, pulling a cart with batteries, etc. to be able to ride. It is a bit of a disadvantage to not have a garage or a closer storage unit. Still, it's a lot easier to not have to drag two recumbent E-trikes up and down 2 flights of stairs and thru several doors to get them into our 2nd. floor apartment!
On Father's Day, June 16, we headed over to the Cottonwood Trail as there is a good amount of shade on that trail. It was a VERY HOT day. 96 F was the high, of course we stopped at the Academy Blvd. & Cottonwood Creek Trail Starbucks for our brown bag lunch and ICED tea!
On June 18th, we did another Food and Supplies ride but since it was a cooler day, mid 80 F temps, we added a ride down to America the Beautiful park and up the Weber St. bike lane to the Tasty Freeze Drive Inn to get a cold iced tea to go with our afternoon diabetic trail mix! Just 22 miles of cruis'in the greenways and enjoying the "not so hot" weather! Sorry, no photos of videos as we don't normally do them on a Food & Supplies Ride.
Today is June 19, it's gray, cloudy and lite rain so no ride, tomorrow on the 20th. we have a service appointment at Angletech New front tires for Jo's trike, rear tire for mine, she is also getting a new rear suspension "elastomer", new-used seat cover and an alignment. Then in July, I get two new front tires/alignment, she get's a new rear tire. When you buy and have 6 tires installed it's a bit expensive!! Well that's it for now, the temps start going up again tomorrow, back into the 90's by the upcoming weekend. Sometimes the HEAT is kinda tough on us Seniors but I will take it any day over COLD! ;)
